Manoj Bajpayee, Karishma Tanna and Abhishek Banerjee in a still from Basanti

If the trailer of the much-awaited Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari was not enough to get you intrigued, its first song Basanti is sure to entertain you. The makers have dropped the fun number Basanti, featuring Manoj Bajpayee and television actress Karishma Tanna. One can also spot Abhishek Banerjee dancing in full ardour. The song also marks Karishma’s debut in a Bollywood song. Donning a shimmery red gown, the popular Television actress looks gorgeous.

Hiding behind a great prosthetic makeup, Manoj is seen shaking a leg with the diva in the song till Diljit Dosanjh, makes his entry at the club and tries to out-detective him. Basanti is penned by Danish Sabri, crooned by Javed-Mohsin, Payal Dev, and Danish.

In a statement, Manoj was quoted as saying, “I would have liked to explore dance in movies more but there was little scope for it in my choice of movies. I did enjoy dancing to the catchy beats of Basanti. It reminded me of Satya. I am not a big fan of dancing but I surely don’t mind when it facilitates the storytelling like in this track. I did have a good time after all and I hope people enjoy this little surprise from me”.

Helmed by Abhishek Sharma, the film is produced by Zee Studios and is all set to release this Diwali.
