Shah Rukh and Sunny Leone to shake legs on 'Laila O Laila' for Raees

Mumbai, Mar 18 (IBNS) Superstar Shah Rukh Khan and Bollywood beauty Sunny Leone will shake legs to the 1980 chartbuster "Laila O Laila" for the upcoming crime-drama Raees.

Sunny and Shahrukh Khan will be dancing on Qurbani's “Laila O Laila“ which featured Feroz Khan and Zeenat Aman.

Producer duo Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, who are fans of the classic number, acquired the rights to Amit Kumar-Kanchan song which is being re-recorded and rendered with faster beats.

A source reveals, “Raees is set in the '80s and there was need of a song sequence. The makers unanimously selected “Laila O Laila“ which perfectly fits with the dark, gangster theme and period. It was suggested to Shah Rukh and it was his idea to get Sunny on board. A lavish set is being created in Mumbai and rehearsals are on in full swing,“

“She will begin shooting for Raees next month. It will be a two-day schedule,“ the source adds.

The song will be shot in a similar club set-up as seen in the original 1980 film. Sunny will be wearing a white, sequinned gown and a feathery headgear, while trying to win over Shahrukh's attention.

Mahira Khan, a Pakistani actress, will be playing Shahrukh's lady love in the film.
