Mumbai, Nov 23 (IBNS): There have been remakes of numerous Bollywood tracks over the years but this time a very special number from the 90s will be back to hit the charts soon with the movie Fraud Sainyan.

Remember 90s heart-throb Urmila Matondkar and her iconic moves in the song Chamma Chamma.

The hit track from China Gate movie had been a favourite with party goers in the 90s. In fact, it is still quite popular among those who belong to the generation.

The song will now return in a new avatar with Elli AvRam trying to hit the dance floors and hopefully recreate the same vibe the original had created.

Sharing an image from the floor of the movie, Elli had posted on Instagram: "Coming soon ... very soon🌪. Chamma Chamma recreation.
But first I have to say I’m really grateful to be part of the remake of such a timeless iconic song with stunning and powerful @urmilamatondkarofficial 💥 A big thank you to @tips @kumartaurani@prakashjproductions@adil_choreographer #chammachamma#song #remake #tips #bollywood#bringing90sback."
