/> Remember the chartbuster Bombay se aaya mera dost dost ko salaam karo in the film Aap Ki Khatir in 1977?

21 years later Bappi Lahiri has re-created, re-structured and re-vitalized that old Mumbai song for Akshay Kumar in Nikhil Advani's Chandni Chowk To China.

Bappi-da just can't stop that top-of-the-whirl feeling.

"See songs about Mumbai and me go back a long way. I did Bombai se aaya mera dost so many years ago. Then recently I did Mumbai nagariya for Milan Luthria's Taxi No 9211 for Vishal-Shekhar.

Now when Nikhil Advani asked for a re-mix of my Aap Ki Khatir song I took it up a challenge.I've just one track while the rest of the score is by others (Shankar- Ehsan Loy, Kailash Kher)"

While the basic structure of the original song remains unaltered Bappi has tampered with the rhythm sections. However the words Bombay has not been changed to a more politically correct Mumbai. "It's a song.Where does politics come into it?"

Bappida says the track has turned out far better than it used to be. "I've given it a new-age sound. And Akshay Kumar performing it will take it to another level
