Atul Khatri makes music video debut with Bajre da sitta
We can’t think of another track that could do justice to Atul Khatri’s off-screen persona than the recreated version of Bajre da sitta. “I play the father of the protagonist, and am seen constantly trying to convince her to consider some ‘rishtas’. Every father goes through this phase. This edition has been lent an urban look. I hope people enjoy it,” says the comedian of the track, rendered by Rashmeet Kaur, Ikka, and Deep Kalsi.

Frozen 2 fame singer Nakul Abhyankar was appointed to render the recreated version of AR Rahman’s Dhakka laga bukka, for Saif Ali Khan-starrer, Tandav. “I was asked to render the fresh lyrics.
