Hrithik, Sonam Star in Honey Singh's Version of Dheere Dheere

Actors Hrithik Roshan and Sonam Kapoor star in the music video of Dheere Dheere, the hit song from 1990’s Aashiqui refurbished by rapper Honey Singh. The song is presented as a tribute to slain Aashiqui producer Gulshan Kumar. (Also Read: Working Together After 6 Years Was Amazing: Sonam on Salman )

The original song was a career-making hit for singer Kumar Sanu and composers Nadeem-Shravan.

Honey Singh’s recrafting stays fairly faithful to the melody, and it’s still 1990 in the music video which has lavish interiors and a shrine to Sonam that Bollywood might have thought romantic several decades ago but in 2015 is slightly creepy.

As a modernisation, the forthright Sonam is the very opposite of the shy Anu of the 1990 Aashiqui, played by Anu Agarwal.

The new Dheere Dheere is available here on Hotstar.
