DJ Aqeel to remix ‘What the Fark’
MUMBAI: A track mischievously titled ‘What the Fark’ from actor Virr Das’ latest film ‘Amit Sahni Ki List’ has caught the attention of DJ Aqeel.
The DJ who earned his fame after the track ‘Shake it Daddy Mix’, followed it up with his other super-hit remixes of old Hindi songs around the year 2000, and is looking at remixing more songs.
Composed by Virr Das along with his comical rock act ‘Alien Chutney’, ‘What the Fark’ is currently a club favourite across the country with fans going crazy on this number.
Sources close to the DJ confirmed saying, “DJ Aqeel is very choosy about the songs he mixes. ‘What the Fark’ is a catchy number with lots of potential for a re-mix version and that’s the reason why he wants to mix it himself. He has on prior occasions heard Alien Chutney’s elaborate renditions of quirky songs. He loved their composition of ‘What the Fark’ and wants to now add his own flavour to it.”
Das has a good equation with DJ Aqeel and is pleased to have his song remixed by him. They are glad the song has worked so well and hope the re-mixed version will be as popular as the original song.
DJ Aqeel also promises an EMD version of this quirky number and hopes to launch it soon across the nation.
Amit Sahni Ki List is a 2014 Indian romantic comedy film produced by Pyxis Pictures and directed by Ajay Bhuyan. The film stars Virr Das, Vega Tamotia, Kavi Shastri and Anindita Nayar in lead roles, and tells the story of Amit Sahni (a successful investment banker) which revolves around his quests, pursuits and twists in finding love and Ms. Perfect based on his list.
