Ranbir to revisit Jumma ChummaThe actor, along with Deepika Padukone, will give his own spin to the chartbuster from Mukul Anand's 1991 hit. HumTry as they might, the makers of Ranbir Kapoor's next, Yeh Jawaani Hai Diwaani, have been unsuccessful at keeping their little secret under wraps. TOI has found out Ranbir, along with his co-star Deepika Padukone, will be re-creating the magic of the super-hit track Jumma Chumma De De from Mukul Anand's 1991 hit Hum.

The original number, a duet, whose music was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal, was sung by Kavita Krishnamurthy and Sudesh Bhosle. Bhosle was brought in to imitate Amitabh Bahchan's rich baritone as Bachchan begged off from singing what he considered a difficult and high-pitched song.

However, Ranbir, has no such qualms, and will not only be dancing with Deepika to the beats of the colourful song but will also be lending his own voice to it. A source close to the film told TOI, " Karan Johar, director Ayaan Mukherjee, Ranbir and Deepika are huge fans of the Big B. It was decided they'd do one of his songs and dance in Yeh Jawaani Hai Diwani.

The question was which one? The success of Dharma Productions' remake of Mukul Anand's Agneepath answered that question and it was decided that Jumma chumma with its naughty, perky rhythms and lines would suit Ranbir to the hilt."

Adarsh Gupta, Business Head, Saregama, confirmed the Yeh Jawaani Hai Diwani team has acquired the rights of the Jumma chumma chartbuster. What remains undecided though is whether Ranbir and Deepika will replicate the original steps of Big B and Kimi Katkar or go for an entirely new choreography in the film.
