Farah Khan says Katrina Kaif's ‘Sheila Ki Jawani' is the ‘cheapest song' of her career: ‘We didn't have any set, had to shoot it with just 10 dancers'
'Sheila Ki Jawani' became the 'It' song when Farah Khan's Tees Maar Khan released in 2010. Featuring Katrina Kaif and choreographed by Farah herself, the song won multiple awards. Sunidhi Chauhan was honoured with Best Female Playback Singer award at several award shows, while Farah received accolades for Best Choreography. Music composers Vishal-Shekhar also earned widespread praise. Even today, thanks to its infectious tune, 'Sheila Ki Jawani' remains a go-to choice for dance performances at various events. But did you know it's also the 'cheapest' song Farah Khan has ever made?
In her recent vlog, the director-choreographer visited actor Manasi Parekh's house. While discussing their upcoming film Shubhchintak, Manasi shared it was made on a small budget of Rs 5 crore. Impressed by the looks of it, Farah said, 'It doesn't look like a film made with such less budget. In today's time, a song's budget is more than your entire film's budget.' She then shared, 'When someone boasts to me that they made their song on a huge budget, it doesn't impress me. I believe the lesser budget you have, the better you think. The cheapest song of my life is 'Sheila Ki Jawani.''

Farah Khan statement surprised actors Manasi Parekh and Swapnil Joshi. She added, 'We didn't have any set for it. All we had was these 10 dancers. We finished shooting the entire song in just three and half days. It is the cheapest song I have done and the biggest hit of my career. One of the top three-four hits.'
A few months ago, actor Ram Charan's film Game Changer made headlines when the makers shared they spent about Rs 75 crore on the production of its four songs. These songs, choreographed by Ganesh Acharya, featured over 1000 dancers. However, both the film and songs failed to leave a mark.

Allahabad HC stays arrest of music producer Sunil Yadav in kidnapping case
According to the prosecution, Anupama was in love with Sunil Yadav, and they were going to get married in April this year. A two-judge bench comprising Justice Siddhartha and Justice Ram Manohar Narayan Mishra also issued notice to Sushmita Yadav, a sister of the alleged victim, Anupama Yadav. Prayagraj, Jun 3 (PTI) The Allahabad High Court has stayed the arrest of music producer Sunil Yadav, who was booked allegedly for kidnapping a woman whom he had signed for an album, a court official said on Tuesday. On February 19, Sunil Yadav came to Anupama's house and said he had to go to Nepal for wedding shopping. He took Anupama in a car, a Mahindra Scorpio. After two hours, Surya Kumar Yadav, Sunil's brother, got a call from Anupama, who told him Sunil was not taking her to Nepal, but to Bihar. After the call, her mobile phone became unavailable. On February 22, around 9 am, Sunil Yadav told Sushmita over the phone that Anupama was not with him. Sushmita has since alleged that Sunil Yadav has either sold her sister, aged 25, or murdered her. Sunil Yadav alleged that the two sisters ran a blackmail racket. According to his counsel, Sunil Yadav had given Anupama a role in an album and paid her around Rs 6 lakh. But she refused to work on the album, and subsequently fabricated the kidnapping story, he claimed. On February 23, Sunil Yadav was booked under sections 87 (kidnapping, abducting or inducing a woman to compel her marriage, etc) of BNS at the Kotwali Police Station in Deoria district.
