Actress Mahie Gill has sought inspiration from legendary actress Meena Kumari for a song in her upcoming film "Gang of Ghosts".
The song 'Nahi Dungi, Nahi Dungi, Dil mera fokat mein nahi dungi' is inspired by the tragedy queen.
"I am a huge Meena Kumari fan so it was a great honour for me to emulate her on screen. In no way could it be less than perfect for which I studied her in films like Birju Bawra and Dil Ek Mandir," Mahie said in a statement here.
Mahie took a lot of interest in the styling of the song.
"We wanted the song to have an old-world feel and fashioned Mahie's look on the lines of great Meena Kumari. It has come out terrifically and Mahi has done a great job," director Satish Kaushik said.
"Gangs of Ghosts" stars Mahi Gill, Anupam Kher, Meera Chopra, Chunkey Pandey and Saurab Shukla.
