Trivia

This song was an adaptation of Mory Kante's songs "Yeke Yeke" and "Tama Tama". Around the time this song was released, another Hindi film song with the same tune had also come out - "Tamma Tamma Loge" ("Thanedaar", 1990). The makers of the two films had gone back and forth on who copied whom when the truth was that both had copied from a different song! This controversy became so big that Sanjay Dutt apparently dropped out from a film with Amitabh Bachchan, "Khuda Gawah" (1992), because of it.[1][2][3][4][5]
Mory Kante's song "Yeke Yeke", which partly inspired this song, was used as the background score in a scene in the film "Agneepath" (1990) in which Amitabh Bachchan lands in Mauritius.[6]
This song was first offered to Ramesh Sippy for his shelved film "Ram Ki Sita Shyam Ki Gita" which featured Amitabh Bachchan and Sridevi in double roles. However, it was eventually recorded for this film. In an interview, Amitabh Bachchan said that Mukul Anand, Ramesh Sippy, and Laxmikant - Pyarelal were all involved in discussions that led to the decision to use the song in this film. The song sequence was planned for the film's mahurat shot.[7]
Salim - Sulaiman's tune for the title song of "Chak De India" (2007) was rejected seven times. The music director duo was dejected and close to quitting the film when producer Aditya Chopra sang to them the opening line of the song to the tune of this song and told them that he wanted a song with the energy of Laxmikant - Pyarelal's composition. An inspired Salim - Sulaiman then sat with lyricist Jaideep Sahni to rework the song's lyrics to come up with the tune which was eventually approved and recorded.[8][9]
