The iconic pair of Madhuri Dixit and Anil Kapoor is all set to return to the big screen in Indra Kumar’s Total Dhamaal, the third installment of Dhamaal franchise. The film is currently being shot at a studio in Mumbai, which revolves around the feeling of greed and people chasing money. Adding to the theme of the film, director Indra Kumar has decided to recreate the classic song, Paisa Yeh Paisa, from Subhash Ghai’s blockbuster Karz. The original song was picturised on Rishi Kapoor but the recreated version will feature all the actors of Total Dhamaal, Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh, Madhuri Dixit, Anil Kapoor, Jaaved Jaaferi, Arshad Warsi, Sanjay Mishra and Pitobash.
About recreating Paisa Yeh Paisa, filmmaker Indra Kumar said, “Subhash ji (Ghai) and his wonderful composers Laxmikant-Pyarelalji created this song many years ago and it’s still relevant. Even now, people are chasing money. So, this song fits the theme of our film perfectly.” Indra Kumar called Total Dhamaal his biggest film yet, both in terms of cast and budget. Happy to have the hit jodi of Anil-Madhuri in his film, he added, “They’re an iconic pair and they still create an electric atmosphere on screen together.” An adventure comedy, Total Dhamaal is touted to feature thrilling stunt sequences. Indra Kumar further said, “We’ve used action based situations to create humour. We also have four more songs to shoot, which we’ll do in the days to come.”
Talking about the song, Anil Kapoor shares, “It feels great to be dancing to this classic number. I am matching steps with all these young stars and it feels great to be able to give it your best.” Madhuri Dixit cited Paisa Yeh Paisa as one of her all-time favourites. “I’m really happy that Indra Kumar has decided to revisit this classic number. It’s a song that I’ve grooved to for so many years. Even after so long, it retains its energy,” she said. Presented by Fox Star Studios, Produced by Ajay Devgn Films, Indra Kumar, Ashok Thakeria, Sri Adhikari Brothers, Anand Pandit and Fox Star Studios, the film is releasing on December 7, 2018.
