Alia Bhatt recreated her own version of the viral song from the upcoming film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani in the new reel.
It seems that Alia Bhatt can’t get over the first song from her upcoming film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani. ‘Tum Kya Mile’ which has been sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Arijit Singh has taken over the internet owing to portrayal of Bhatt in a chiffon saree, romancing with Ranveer Singh Yash Chopra’s Bollywood style. While the song itself opened to mixed reactions, Alia Bhatt has dropped another version of it in which she lip syncs to the song at a beach in an undisclosed holiday location.
On Thursday, Alia Bhatt took to her Instagram handle and shared a reel in which she recreated her own little music video of Tum Kyu Mile. The clip starts with Alia’s hands stroking the water and creating ripples which then cuts to her face perfectly lip-syncing to the lyrics vocalised by Shreya Ghoshal. Alia also gave several expressions throughout the reel even when she was running on the beach. She penned the caption,”Pehle pahado mein aur ab beach pe… hum toh gaate rahenge #TumKyaMile “.
Her post was greeted with comments from celebs and fans alike. Neena Gupta wrote, “Lovely (with red heart emoji)”. Soni Razdan and Manish Malhotra dropped red heart emojis. One of the fans wrote, “Not Alia synching lip for both male & female voices”. Another one commented, “Literally waiting for this “. Someone else said, “Only Alia Bhatt can manage to look so beautiful without makeup too nobody else can relate to it “
Tum Kya Mile gives us a glimpse into everything Karan Johar cinema quintessentially stands for. There’s Alia clad in stunning chiffon sarees serenading Ranveer in the backdrop of snow-capped mountains. This marks Alia and Ranveer’s second collaboration after Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy.
Hours before sharing the song, Karan Johar revealed that ‘Tum Kya Mile’ was his tribute to Yash Chopra, whom he called his “guru”. He wrote, “I remember at the very onset my instinct was that I wanted to film a love song that would unabashedly pay homage to my guru Yash Chopra… The thinking evolved mind would say ‘you can’t match it or even dare to emulate it,’ but the fan boy and the ardent lover of snow, chiffons, the stunning locations of Kashmir and sheer romance got the better of me… Pritam Dada and I yearned for a song for the ages from the ages and it had it be unapologetic or it wouldn’t be true.” Karan also apologised to Alia for making her dance in a chiffon saree in freezing temperature.
Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani also stars Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi. While the Guddi (1971) duo of Dharmendra and Jaya will play Ranveer’s onscreen grandparents, Shabana will be essaying the role of Alia’s grandmother.The film will release in theatres on July 28, 2023.
