New song from #Selfiee - #KudiyeNiTeri is great on visuals but low on fun.

Starring Akshay Kumar, Emraan Hasmi, Nushrratt Bharuccha and Diana Penty, Selfie is the official Hindi language remake of south star Prithviraj Sukumaran’s 2021-film Driving License. The film’s plot revolves around a superstar Hareendran, who is famous for his driving skills, but does not have a license. A twist in the plot happens when the superstar gets on loggerheads with a police inspector, who was a big fan of his.
Recently, another song from Selfiee made headlines. The song is a recreation of Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan’s song Main Anaari. The peppy number featured Emraan Hashmi alongside Akshay Kumar.
Talking about the song, Emraan Hashmi told media in a press interaction, “I remember listening to this song when I was 16 years old, and it is such an iconic track. I was very nervous to dance with Akshay on this song. The best thing is Tanishk has not changed the song much.”
The actor added, “This film is for the fans, it is a tribute to the fans. ‘Aap log hain toh hum hain, hamari filmein hain (We owe our films to you)’.”
