Speaking more about 'Masakali 2.0', Sidharth and Tara Sutaria can be seen steaming things up in the modern and naughtier version of AR Rahman's musical gem from 'Delhi 6'. With a more contemporary sound to it, 'Masakali 2.0' has been recreated by Tanishk Bagchi. Tulsi Kumar, Sachet Tandon and Mohit Chauhan (also the original voice of Masakali) have teamed up to sing the track, with the female portion being the new inclusion in the ditty. With original lyrics by Prasoon Joshi, Tanishk Bagchi has penned the additional lyrics. Watch the song below: Do you like 'Masakali 2.0' nor not?
