Ahmed Khan Opens Up About the New ‘Ucha Lamba Kad Forever’
Director Ahmed Khan is all set to bring back a fan-favourite track with a fresh twist. The song ‘Ucha Lamba Kad Forever’ from his upcoming film Welcome to the Jungle has just dropped, and it features Akshay Kumar and Disha Patani in a high-energy dance number. Choreographed by Adil Shaikh, the track is a recreation of the iconic ‘Ucha Lamba Kad’ from the 2007 blockbuster Welcome.
Talking about the experience, Ahmed Khan couldn’t stop gushing about his leading man. He revealed that Akshay has been a part of his journey for 33 years now, and the star’s dedication to fitness and screen presence remains unmatched. “Akshay has immense experience in songs. He has got the body and the fitness which fills up the frame for any choreographer or director,” the director shared. He also added that after 19 years, Akshay has taken the energy of the original song three notches higher. “He looks absolutely charismatic, dashing, and handsome. I always love to shoot him on my camera,” Khan said with a smile.
And when it comes to Disha Patani, the filmmaker had nothing but praise. Khan called her “his favourite” and said she is the best in the industry right now when it comes to powerful dance numbers. “Disha pulls off any look you give her. The body, the face, the skin, and the style – she knows how to carry it all. She is the best at present to do a powerful dance number, and they both pull the song off so well,” he added. No wonder Disha keeps landing roles in Khan’s films – she’s clearly his go-to girl for sizzling dance sequences.
What ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ Has in Store
