"I grew up watching 'Mughal-e-Azam'. It's an iconic film with a love story that is so poignant. Plus technically, it's a sterling film. But perhaps its most outstanding features are its music and Madhubala's beauty," the film's director Madhureeta Anand said in a statement.

"And to have a rendition of the most famous heartbreak song 'Mohabbat ki jhoothi', in 'Kajarya' is perfect because it fits the situation and has recall value. Plus Susheela Raman's singing gives it another meaning all together. She's fabulous," Anand added.
