The modern version of the song has an Arabic theme. It features Nora doing belly dancing and sharing screen space with actor John Abraham. She says the take on the song is very "unique and different". However, John will not be shaking a leg in the number.

"When I heard the powerful script of 'Satyameva Jayate' I knew that we had most of the ingredients that are required for an out and out commercial masaledaar film. With the addition of 'Dilbar', one of the most catchy songs of the 1990s, and the way it has been stunningly picturised... I am certain we have a winner," John said in a statement.

The film's producer Nikkhil Advani said Nora Fatehi's belly dance on this track is going to be "genre-defining". Director Milap Zaveri said: "'Dilbar' was a rage back then when it released and our new version is also going to be a rage." Producer and T-Series honcho Bhushan Kumar said he wanted to recreate this song with modern notes since a long time.
