Band, baaja... and a lot of star power, the makers of the upcoming Ghudchadi unveiled the peppy wedding song Punjabi Munde at a musical event with Raveena Tandon, Khushalii Kumar and Parth Samthaan.

Leading star Sanjay Dutt, who marked his 65th birthday on July 29, couldn't make it to the event.

The song is the remake of the 1996 Punjabi chart-buster of the same name.

Singer-Composer Sukbhir and Ganesh Acharya, who choreographed the hookstep for the modern rendition, were also present at the gathering.

The highlight of the evening was Raveena shaking a leg with her co-star Aruna Irani from her '90s hits, Bulandi, Barood, Anari No 1, Laadla and Rajaji.

Ghudchadi reunites Raveena and Aruna after many years.

Raveena was all praise for her 'dearest' co-star, as she says, "Arunaji ke saamne hum sab paani kam chai hai (We are lesser in front of her). She's the original, original, original ki OG!"

Her words left the senior actress blushing.

"She has worked with my father (Ravi Tandon) in many films. There was this song Sapna Mera Toot Gaya from Khel Khel Mein. It was my favourite song," Raveena recalls.

The film has been directed by Binnoy K Gandhi and produced by Nidhi Dutta, film-maker J P Dutta's daughter.

The rom-com revolves around father-son duo of Sanjay Dutt and Parth, who fall in love with a mother-daughter duo, played by Raveena and Khushalii.

"I have worked with Sanjay Dutt in so many films, he is my eternal co-star," Raveena says. "I am fortunate that I always have the support of the media. I guarantee that you’ll love the film. This is a film for the family and made by a family."
