"Revisiting it now decades later feels like a full-circle moment."
A reimagined version of Sonu Nigam’s ‘Bijuria’ is out and it is a high-voltage spectacle.
Featuring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor, the track serves as the first taste of the upcoming film Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari.
The music video is a visual feast, putting Varun and Janhvi’s sizzling chemistry and infectious energy on full display.
With a hookstep that is destined to go viral and dazzling, glamorous aesthetics, every frame is bursting with a festive energy that promises a larger-than-life cinematic experience.
This explosive track sets the stage for the Shashank Khaitan-directed film, which features a star-studded ensemble including Rohit Saraf, Sanya Malhotra, and Maniesh Paul.
Nostalgia hit hard for Varun, as he elaborated:
“There’s a connection and a vibe we’ve all grown up listening and dancing to, but this version has a fresh, crazy energy that matches the madness of our film and makes you want to get up and dance.
“Shooting this with Janhvi and getting the OG Sonu Nigam sir singing the track was a fun experience, the hookstep, beats and the vibe has been stuck in my head ever since.”
Janhvi Kapoor was equally thrilled to be part of the iconic song’s revival:
“’Bijuria’ has always been one of those tracks that makes you want to get up and dance, and bringing it back in this film has been such a fun experience.
“The new version is a perfect mix that has the old charm with a new freshness that makes it impossible not to groove.
“I think this is going to be one of those tracks that people will hold close to their hearts and also dance their hearts out to.”
This modern take on ‘Bijuria’ was skillfully crafted by composer and producer Tanishk Bagchi, who reimagined the music and penned additional lyrics.
The soul of the beloved original, composed by Ravi Pawar with lyrics by Sonu Nigam and Ajay Jhingran, remains powerfully intact, thanks to the inclusion of the legendary Sonu Nigam himself on the vocals.
Adding a fresh, contemporary twist is the powerhouse singer Asees Kaur, whose vocals infuse the track with a delightful sass and an irresistible groove.
Reflecting on the song’s legacy, Sonu said:
“‘Bijuria’ is one of those songs that has lived many lives.
“When we first recorded it, I had no idea it would be so loved and would last so long, evergreen, as if eternal.
“Revisiting it now decades later feels like a full-circle moment. I’m humbled that the original vocals still resonate enough to be part of this reimagined version.
“Tanishk has infused it with an electrifying new sound, and Asees has added her own flavour that elevates the track.
“Varun and Janhvi have made the track special with their amazing dance moves.
“‘Bijuria’ for me is nostalgic, it’s fresh, and it’s made to make people dance all over again.”
Composer Tanishk Bagchi said: “Reimagining a song like ‘Bijuria’ comes with a huge sense of responsibility. You don’t just remix, you reinterpret.
“The goal was to keep the essence of what made the original so iconic, while giving it the kind of edge and tempo that today’s audiences expect.
“Having Sonu Nigam’s voice in the track gave it authenticity and soul, and Asees brought a fierce, playful energy that gave the song a brand-new identity.
“It’s both a tribute and a celebration, and hopefully something that bridges generations.”
Asees Kaur added: “Singing ‘Bijuria’ alongside Sonu Nigam sir is truly special, it’s a song I grew up loving.
“I wanted to bring my own bold and playful energy to it while staying true to its iconic vibe.
“Tanishk gave it a fresh, fiery sound, and I’m thrilled to be part of this powerful reimagining that bridges nostalgia with now.”
The track marks the start of a celebration that will echo across dancefloors and for Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, the film hits theatres on October 2, 2025.
