MUMBAI: The most nostalgic anthem of our childhood, ‘Lakdi Ki Kaathi’ was launched in an incredibly Damdaar way today in the presence of cast and crew of ‘Hanuman Da Damdaar’. Vinay Pathak, Chunky Panday, director Ruchi Narain and producers Taher Shabbir and Ashutosh Shah made certain the event was nostalgic and yet, fun as they shared anecdotes from their film.
The song was launched by original kaathi girl, Urmila Matondkar, who could not help but be overwhelmed by the moment and the new song. Speaking about the new upbeat number, Urmila said, “I will always be the ‘Lakdi Ki Kathi’ girl. This version of ‘Lakdi Ki Kaathi’ will be the new age anthem, hats off to the ‘Hanuman Da Damdaar’ team to bring this song back.”
When asked what made them opt for this particular number, director Ruchi Narain said, “We wanted to retain the melody that we have grown up to, yet make it happening enough for kids today to be able to dance and freak out to! Judging from the reaction of the kids today, I think we’ve managed that.”
