Dekha Tenu song

Composed and penned by Jaani and vocals by Mohammad Faiz, the number is a romantic ballad which explores Janhvi and Rajkummar’s relationship. The original makers of the song Shava Shava, composer Aadesh Shrivastava, singer Udit Narayan and lyricist Sameer Anjaan have also been credited. The number also shares glimpses of what was shown in the trailer - how the titular characters get married and go on to form an understanding relationship. New lyrics have been penned for the new number, with the hook lines used from the old number.

Janhvi turns stylist

Janhvi turned stylist for her looks while promoting Mr and Mrs Mahi. She has been wearing cricket and jersey-inspired outfits to promote the romantic sports drama. She admitted she was inspired by Zendaya. A source told Hindustan Times that Janhvi is so invested in the project, she wanted to do something special. A striking red dress she wore with cricket balls on the back garnered the most attention. She also wore crop top and blouses with the number 6 on them, as her character Mahi’s jersey number is the same.

About Mr and Mrs Mahi

For the film, she underwent two years of rigorous training, even dislocating her shoulder once. The title of the movie is a tribute to Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is lovingly called Mahi. The film will also honour his legacy and will release in theatres on May 31.
