New Delhi: A new song named ‘Mere Mehboob Mere Sanam’ was launched on Sunday (July 14) for the upcoming romance comedy film ‘Bad Newz’, which stars Vicky Kaushal, Tripti Dimri, and Ammy Virk. The song, which involves all three main protagonists, is a cover of a Shah Rukh Khan song from the 1998 film ‘Duplicate’. The song received a lot of negative feedback soon after it was out. Fans say the producers ruined the iconic song with an "unnecessary" remix, and they aren't happy about it.
The love song ‘Mere Mehboob Mere Sanam’ features Vicky Kaushal, Triptii Dimri, and Ammy Virk in the music video. The song is reworked by Lijo George and DJ Chetas while the original was sung by Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan.
