The original was sung by Asha Bhosle along with Bappi Lahiri who also composed the music for the track and it was written by Anjaan.

Interestingly, this will be the only song in the film, which is a whodunit thriller with Sidharth Malhotra and Sonakshi Sinha playing prime suspects to a double murder and Akshaye Khanna in the role of a firm cop.
