Bollywood veterans and old friends, Sanjay Dutt & Anil Kapoor have reunited on the big screen for the latter's forthcoming comedy, Shortkut.
Sanjay and Anil were last seen together in Sanjay Gupta's Musafir, and in Shortkut, they return to shake a leg joined by the glamorous Amrita Rao.
The sensational track that features the trio is Mareez-e-Mohabbat, composed by Ehsaan-Shankar-Loy, choreographed by Bosco, written by Javed Akhtar and rendered by Nikita Nigam, Kirti Sagathia, Hrishikesh Kamekar and Shankar Mahadevan.
Remarks Anil Kapoor, "I asked Sanjay to join me in this track and have a picnic. He agreed instantly. He is a far better dancer than I am!"
Incidentally, Mareez-e-Mohabbat is also Amrita's favourite number in Shortkut!
The elegant lady-in-white, Simi Grewal, had shot for Anil Kapoor's Shortkut, as the host of her popular erstwhile chat show. Arshad Warsi, who plays Bollywood superstar Raju in Shortkut, had shot a scene where he appears on Simi's show as the celebrity guest and ends up chatting a whole lot of nonsense with her.
However, in the final edit, the scene was removed to keep the film's length under check. The running time of Shortkut is 130 minutes, which is the ideal length of a crisp comedy.
If the scene had been retained, Simi would have made a comeback on the big screen after over two decades. She was last seen in her directorial debut Rukhsat co-starring Mithun Chakraborty and Anuradha Patel.
However, the producer and distributors have decided to incorporate the hilarious scene (among others) in the "Deleted Scenes" section of the film's DVD, which will release months after the worldwide theatrical release on July 10.
