Hit pair; Akshay and Raveena were magic together. They had the super hit song “tu cheez badi hai mast mast” which led Raveena to be dubbed as the “mast mast” girl. “Tip tip barsa paani” is one of the top rain songs and a remix version is being picturised on Akshay and Katrina in the forthcoming Rohit Shetty action thriller Sooryavanshi. Priyanka Chopra has also said this is one of her favourite songs.
Akshay-Raveena also had a romantic duet “Subah se le kar shaam tak” in the movie. Some other Akshay-Raveena hit movies were Khiladiyon ka khilari, Keemat and Main khilari tu anari. Recently in an interview Akshay said that working with Raveena was an honour for him and Tip tip barsa paani was one of his favorite songs.
The song Tu cheez badi hai mast mast was shot in Mumbai and it was a very hot April. Raveena had been shooting at Manali for the previous 10 days and the temperature difference led to her fainting. However after just a 30 minute rest she completed the shoot. The song “Tip tip barsa paani” too made Raveena ill as the tanker water was icy cold. Raveena was running 102 degrees fever and everyone had different medicines to offer such as Akshay Kumar with ginger-lemon tea and Rajiv Rai with rum shots.
