His famous Manna Dey song in the film -- Yaari hai imaan mera -- will be recreated and put across on screen by Sanjay Dutt, who plays Sher Khan's role in the remake.
Says a source from Apoorva Lakhia's Zanjeer team, "We thought of dropping the song altogether since there were too many copyright hassles. But now we're determined to get the song at any cost. You really can't have Sher Khan in Zanjeer not singing Yaari hai imaan mera."
