New Delhi [India], Dec. 22 (ANI): After making a loud noise with its posters and teasers, Sunny Leone is here with the track 'Laila Main Laila' from Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming flick 'Raees,' which has all the ingredients to top of the chartbuster next year!

Other than recreating the '70s oomph, what makes this track different is that, it's not just another item number.

During a telephonic interview with ANI, producer Ritesh Sidhwani informed that 'Laila Main Laila' is very much a part of 'Raees' narrative and screen play.

"Laila Main Laila is very much a part of the narrative and the screen play. Rahul Dholakia wanted such kind of situation where Shah Rukh goes into the den and where an old song performance will be going on and how the woman is involved in the story," he said.

Further hailing Sunny for her performance, the producer said, "She is amazing. She looked slightly different, yet very beautiful and gorgeous. Sunny lived up to the expectation from the song. It was interesting to have her as she and SRK have never worked together."

The 70's classic rendition, recreated by Ram Sampath and sung by Pawni Kalyan, has garnered more than six million views in not even 24 hours.

Directed by Rahul Dholakia, 'Raees' is all set to release on January 25 ,next year.
