Leena Chuk Chuk Mix… Inspired By Amitabh Bachchan…
Amitabh Bachchan's timeless influence inspires generations, including filmmakers lucky enough to work with him. For Radhika & Vinay, a bag and book of his sparked the story of Leena O Leena, blending the spirit of Bachchan with the charm of Rajesh Khanna’s Mere Sapno Ki Rani.

Ho Gayi Hai Mohabbat…. A Song Directed By Radhika Rao & Vinay Sapru
Welcome to our world of fairy tales and Prince Charmings…And in most of our tales the Prince kisses the Princess and they live happily ever after… Except for a few stories… which are tragedies…… In our long musical journey of over 2 decades… The only song that we have shot 5 Years back but never released commercially… ‘Ho Gayi Hai Mobabbat’… For a Director every cinema that he makes is like a child of his… And every child has his or her own destiny..… And this child is here where she is… So releasing this one for all… We think it’s quite smart… And a nice song… The girl Kasia is also nice… a very hardworking and dedicated artist. The original was sung by our friend Shibani Kashyap and this one is sung by another favourite singer of ours Mauli Dave. A tale of broken heart and broken dreams… five years old but still resonates… a debate during shoot was should the story be tragedy or the girl moves on… Finally we shot a tragedy…

Featuring Ayesha Takia, the video was meticulously shot at Hotel Leela Kempinski with a custom lift set and early VFX, delivering timeless music and visuals that remain unbeatable.
