"Mutton song", an item number from upcoming film " Luv Ka The End", not only has the lead actor grooving to it, but the choreographer has also roped in old-time extras to shake a leg.

"The song is mad and the casting is special. Everyone is bringing remixes of old songs, but our choreographer for this song, Adil Sheikh, has brought back old back-up dancers. It was great working with them," Ashish Patil, head of Y-Films, the youth division of Yash Raj Films told IANS.

Some of the dancers are Bulbul, who featured in "Laila o laila" in " Qurbani" as an African, and Deepak, who danced with Vaijantimala in the song "Honthon mein aesi baat" in "Jewel Thief".

The song, which features Taaha Shah dressed in a ghagra-choli, dancing like a woman, has been composed by Ram Sampath, sung by Krishna Beura and has lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya.

"Krishna brings's soul and spirit to the song. Mostly item songs become gimmics. At a superficial level it is also a gimmick, but it takes a great singer to sing it. I always use singers who can sing. I refuse to use singers who are doctored in the studios," said Sampath, adding Krishna has warbled in five different voices for the song.

The song is basically a qawwali with a contemporary twist.

"Love Ka The End", releasing May 6, is a romantic comedy starring Shakti Kapoor's daughter Shraddha Kapoor along with Taaha. The movie has been directed by Bampi.
