Akshay Kumar recently unveiled the teaser of his upcoming song ‘Main Khiladi’ from ‘Selfiee’, which also stars Emraan Hashmi. Now the full song, which is the recreation of his hit 90s song ‘Main Khiladi Tu Anari’, is finally out and it has the two actors dancing to the hit dance number. 

Sharing the new song, Akshay Kumar wrote on Instagram, “Lights, camera, naacho! #MainKhiladi Full Song OUT NOW. #Selfiee in cinemas from 24th Feb.” Check it out here:

While the original song featured Akshay along with Saif Ali Khan, in the revamped version, Akshay is now sharing screen space with Emraan while  Nushraatt Bharuccha and Diana Penty join them in the groovy number. 

The original was crooned by Abhijeet Bhattacharya, Udit Narayan and Anu Malik and also featured Johny Lever in the frame. It was written by Maya Govind. In the 1994 film, Shilpa Shetty played a dual role and starred Raageshwari as well.

Coming to ‘Selfiee’, the film is directed by Raj Mehta of ‘Good Newwz’ fame. The trailer has Akshay as a superstar and Emraan essays a police officer, who wishes to have a selfie with his favourite actor Vijay (played by Akshay). However, they end up at loggerheads and lead to a cold war between a fan and a star. The film is the official Hindi remake of the Malayalam film ‘Driving License’, which had Prithviraj and Suraj Venjaramoodu in lead roles.

‘Selfiee’ will hit the theatres on February 24 this year. It is produced by late Aruna Bhatia, Hiroo Yash Johar, Supriya Menon, Karan Johar, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Apoorva Mehta and Listin Stephen.
