Madhuri Dixit, Anil Kapoor, Sridevi, Akshay Kumar, Karisma Kapoor and Juhi Chawla will also be seen in the number.
Over 20 singers have also come together to lend their voices for the actors. Revealed a source, For the first time, 20 singers will be part of the same song. The title track has been sung by some of the most reputed singers in the industry. And the interesting part about this is that the singers have recorded for those actors whom they generally do the playback singing for in their movies.

The source further added, Vaibhavi has beautifully choreographed this number. There was a strict dress code for all the actors. All the men had to wear black tuxedos and the women wore gold outfits, designed by their own stylists. The song took over a month to be shot entirely as all the actors have independently shot for their parts.
Directed by four directors - Karan Johar, Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar and Dibakar Banerjee - ÂBombay Talkies is an anthology of four short stories. Featuring Rani Mukerji, Randeep Hooda, Katrina Kaif, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Saqib Saleem among others, the film is slated to release on 3rd May 2013.
