Alia, Shahid To Dance To Eena Meena Deeka
Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt will be seen shaking their leg to a popular number Eena Meena Deeka from the 1957 film Aasha in Vikas Bahl’s forthcoming film Shandaar.

 
The music for Aasha was composed by C Ramchandra and the lyrics were written by Rajendra Krishan.

Eena Meena Deeka was one of Bollywoods first rock ‘n roll numbers. The words of the song were inspired by a handful of kids playing outside the composers music room. They were chanting Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, which inspired Ramchandra and his assistant John Gomes to create the first line of the song, Eena Meena Deeka, De Dai Damanika. Gomes, who was a Goan, added the words Maka naka (Konkani for 'I dont want').

The original had two voices, Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhosle.
 
The new version has been composed by Phantom Films favourite composer, Mikey McCleary, best known for his jazzy remixes of old classic Bollywood songs, and has already been shot in the course of the films shoot that ended earlier this year.
