Ahead of the release of the celebrity couple Riteish and Genelia Deshmukh’s ‘Mister Mummy’, the makers of the film released its first song ‘Chupke Chupke’ on Wednesday. Although the makers claim that the song has been composed by Rochak Kohli, it sounds every bit of a remake, albiet quite a diluted version, of legendary Pakistani ghazal singer Ghulam Ali’s ‘Chupke Chupke Raat Din’.

The music video of the song has been tastefully shot with a good architectural setting and an impressive colour palette. It features Armaan Malik and Shilpa Rao, and has been penned by Kumaar.
