Ekta Kapoor's much anticipated production Raginni MMS features the ultimate seduction tune of yesteryear – an SD Burman composition from the 1967 blockbuster Jewel Thief.
The number, Raat Akeli Hai, sung by Asha Bhosle, which featured Dev Anand and Tanuja on screen, has been used in Raginni MMS.
Kapoor has deferred to the sensibilities of the artists of the song, film buffs and music lovers by not remixing the original.
Says a source, "Some recent remixes of old tunes haven't worked and a call was made to not remix a track like this."
Kapoor confirmed saying, "Some classic tunes should just not be touched. They should be enjoyed in their purest authentic form. Raat Akeli Hai is sexy enough in its original form and goes very well with the mood of Ragini MMS."
While the original track was set in an ornate room and showed Tanuja in a white grown seducing Dev Anand, it remains to be seen how the track has been used in the "threesome" scenario, hyped in the film's tag line.
The sensuous paranormal film is due in theaters on May 13.
Raginni MMS is based on the real life story of a young couple on a romantic getaway who shot a steamy video of themselves. They ended up with more than what they had bargained for - the footage showed a third paranormal presence in the room. When Ekta Kapoor was approached with the video she knew immediately that she had a perfect film on hand.
