Tumhari Sulu: Vidya Balan to recreate Sridevi’s iconic ‘Hawa Hawai’ song

Bollywood actress Vidya Balan is currently shooting for her upcoming comedy-drama film, ‘Tumhari Sulu’, in which she will be seen portraying a late night radio jockey in Mumbai. The movie also stars actor Manav Kaul as Vidya's husband and actress Neha Dhupia as her Boss.

And if reports are to be believed, then the viewers are in for a real treat. The makers have decided that Vidya and Neha will be recreating Sridevi’ iconic ‘Hawa Hawai’ song from the 1987 blockbuster ‘Mr. India’ in the movie. Talking about it, the film’s director Suresh Triveni recently said, “Music plays an important role in our film as it is set in the world of radio. The song isn't just a promotional track. It appears at an important point in the story."

He further said, “Vidya's Sulu is a big fan of Sridevi and we wanted to pay a true tribute to the original, reviving it in its full glory. Vidya and Neha will start rehearsing in a week and we will shoot the final song sometime in mid-June. It will have the right balance of the original's charm and a contemporary vibe."

When quizzed about the look of the actresses in the song, the filmmaker said, "You might see some glimpses in terms of the moves, but the look will be our interpretation of the original visuals. We haven't zeroed down on the final look yet though.”

‘Tumhari Sulu’ is slated to release on 1st December.
