"It's funny to do your own re-mix", says Saif Ali Khan when talking about recreating 'Ole Ole'

Saif Ali Khan sang and danced to success with the chartbuster ‘Jab Bhi Koi Ladki Dole Mera Dil Diwana Bole Ole Ole’ in the Akshay Kumar-Kajol-Saif starrer Yeh Dillagi in 1994. The film directed by Naresh Malhotra had a number of chartbusters composed by the uncle-nephew duo Dilip and Sameer Sen, like the Lata Mangeshkar –helmed ‘Hothon Pe Pas Tera Naam Hai’ and ‘Dekho Zara Dekho’.

"It's funny to do your own re-mix", says Saif Ali Khan when talking about recreating 'Ole Ole'

But it was the Abhijeet rendered Ole ole filmed and choreographed on Saif which broke records and became Saif’s anthem song in his march to stardom.

Now 26 years later the song has been recreated for Saif in Jawaani Jaanemann. This is the first time that the same actor is seen performing a song in two films separated by generations.

Says Saif happily, “It’s funny to do your own re-mix. I’ve been around for a while. It’s not really performed. Since this new version of ‘Ole Ole’ is only as part of the background music. So it’s been done in post-production. We haven’t done a full-on item based on the song ‘Ole Ole’ in Jawaani Jaaneman. Maybe we should have. It’s been used more in the background, really.”

Saif says he prefers not to perform to old hits. “Instinctively I’d prefer a new song, or maybe an interesting version of an old song.”

23 Years of Lagaan: “A famous painter heard 'O Paalanhaare' and told me, ‘Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist aisa bhajan nahin likh sakta’” - Javed Akhtar

One of the greatest films of all time, Lagaan (2001), completed 23 years on June 15. Starring Aamir Khan and Gracy Singh, it was a fictional period drama about a group of villagers learning cricket, a game alien to them, and playing it against the British. In the pre-climax, when the villagers fear defeat, they collectively pray to God. This is when 'O Paalanhaare' is played and it leaves viewers teary-eyed. The song took a life of its own and is one of the most loved film devotional songs of all time. Many are surprised to know that Javed Akhtar, an atheist, penned this track. At a show ‘Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaaon’, the legendary songwriter opened up about this song and confessed that he got this surprising reaction often. He also revealed how he responds to such comments in his trademark humourous style. Javed Akhtar said, “A famous painter, Chanda, called me and said, ‘Javed, tum apne aap ko atheist kehte ho. Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist...
