Mumbai: Remember the melodious track ‘Sar jo tera chakraye’ from yesteryears blockbuster ‘Pyaasa’? The song that stirs up a feeling of nostalgia is set to be make a comeback on the 70 mm as director Dev Benegal will reprise the number for his Abhay Deol starrer ‘Road,Movie’.
So while the original song had Johnny Walker playing the happy go lucky massager, the new version will see Abhay shaking a leg to the song. Speaking about the song, a source said, “It was Abhay’s idea to use this song as he plays a young man whose father owns an oil company. Benegal loved the idea and they got the rights of the song.”
“The film is about Abhay who hates his father’s oil business and runs away from home after which he faces a lot of tribulations. He ultimately returns home to take care of the family business. The production was looking for a song that people across generations could identify with and this song was the unanimous choice,” adds the source.
Confirming the news, Benegal said, “We have used a modern interpretation of the song in Road, Movie... it is the soul of the film. Each and every thread of the film is connected to this song and it fits in so nicely with the entire story. In the film, Abhay is on a journey to find happiness and laughter and this song exactly brings forth these emotions. The song is funny and whimsical."
