Ananya Panday and Ishaan Khatter in new song
The makers of Ananya Panday and Ishaan Khatter’s upcoming film ‘Khaali Peeli’ will have to apologise for their new song which goes like “Beyonce sharma jayegi”.
To contextualise this, the song features the two lead stars as they can be seen dancing to the tunes. The song is composed by Vishal-Shekhar and has lines: "Oh tujhe dekh ke goriya... Beyonce sharma jayegi," which translates to ‘After looking at you fair woman, Beyonce will feel shy’."
The song's lyricists are Kumaar & Raj Shekhar.

'Khaali Peeli' has been directed by Maqbool Khan and produced by Ali Abbas Zafar and Himanshu Mehra.
