Recreated 'Ishq Kameena' Unveiled for Baby Do Die Do Starring Huma Qureshi and Rachit Singh

Producer Saqib Saleem says the remake is meant to widen the film’s audience by pairing the original song’s nostalgia with a fresh visual and choreographic approach.

Overview

  • The film team unveiled the recreated Ishq Kameena on Saturday, June 27, 2026, as part of promotion for Baby Do Die Do ahead of its July 3 theatrical release.
  • Huma Qureshi said she felt “genuinely nervous” taking on the cult classic and stressed the goal was to bring a new flavour rather than imitate the original performance.
  • Choreographer Remo D’Souza led the rework and said he focused on preserving the song’s soul while giving it a contemporary visual identity and high-energy moves.
  • Rachit Singh called the track his first commercial Hindi promotional song and said his on-screen chemistry with Huma felt natural during filming.
  • The original Ishq Kameena dates to 2002’s Shakti: The Power and was picturised on Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and the remake—backed by Tips and the Saleem Siblings—aims to boost visibility for the indie film by tapping nostalgia for wider box-office reach.
