Apparently the new song will also feature Utkarsh Sharma, who plays Sunny’s son in the film. While Udit’s voice will be for Sunny, Arijit has lent his voice to Utkarsh.”
A source close to the film franchise, “Yes, Arijit Singh is going to be co-singing the song with Uditji. Arijit and Uditji have create magic. The makers have not made any huge amendments to the original track as they didn’t want to change the soul of a classic which people have adored for so many years. Also, they respect what Uttamji (Uttam Singh, the original creator of the song) has created and they have done these recreations as a mark of respect to him.”
