Signature Tune of Jackie Shroff’ Hero to be used as the signature tune for son Tiger Shroff

The signature tune of the Jackie Shroff starrer, Hero, has been contemporised for his son, Tiger Shroff's debut film, Heropanti.  The very famous tune, a melody played on the flute in hero has been taken from Hero and since Heropanti is set in the modern time, the tune has been modernized.

The cult tune which is also known as Whistle, has been incorporated in a song from Heropanti titled, “Mere Naal Whistle Bajao”

"We wanted to use the melody played on the flute in Hero and had acquired the rights from Sa Re Ga Ma. But since Heropanti revolves around a new pair (Tiger and Kriti Sanon), it had to be modern while resonating with the Hero generation," says director Sabbir Khan.

When the idea propped up with Sajid Nadiadwala who is producing the film he was very upbeat about the collaboration of the tune. It being Jackie Shroff’s music from his debut film and Tiger will be debuting with Heropanti, becomes of higher significance.

The entire team is very elated by the way this has worked out and they are keen to know how Jackie Shroff will be reacting to the song.

"The original Hero tune is all melody, this one is peppier. Even Tiger, who was overwhelmed at the thought of using his father's cult song, is happy with Manj's spin and the way the song has been shot," says Sabbir. "I'm now waiting to see Jackie's reaction.”
