While Akshay and Salman can beexpected to have a lot of fun with this track, it belongs toKatrina as she would surprise the audience," Farah said.

"Katrina's look has been modeled on Pakeezah thoughI don't wish to spoil the fun by disclosing more than that asof now," said Farah, adding that the 'qawalli' will have aquintessential Mumbaiyya feel to it with a 'masala mix' feelto it.

It is Farah's third film after Main Hoon Naa and OmShanti Om, both of which starred her best friend Shah RukhKhan. Farah says the film will be complete after the song.

In fact quite some emphasis is being put on the wayKatrina would make an entry in the song. With the first halfof the song is dominated by Salman and Akshay, the young womanwould arrive in the middle of the qawalli and would join theboys in all the fun right till the end.

"Do you remember Yeh Ishq Ishq Hai Ishq Ishq, theqawalli from Barsaat Ki Raat which was created 50 yearsback? It still sounds so fresh. The qawalli in Tees MaarKhan, though not exactly like that, is on the same lines,"Farah said.

Asked whether Akshay was okay with the idea ofintroducing Salman Khan in the song, Farah said, "When Ishared the idea with Akshay, he was game for it. He had a bigsmile on his face when I said that the song would feature thetwo of them along with Katrina."

Katrina has already impressed with her moves in songslike Zara Zara Touch Me and Khwab Dekhe JhootheMoothe (Race), Main Tera Dhadkan Teri (Ajab Prem Ki GhazabKahani), Paisa Paisa (De Dana Dan) and Teri Ore (Singh IsKinng).
