Our sources inform us, "As Sivaji is being dubbed into Hindi a lot of changes are being made to adapt it to Hindi cine fans' sensibilities. This special song is a part of it. It will feature Rajnikant in a song trying to woo the film's heroine, Shriya (Awarapan) in three various avtaars."

"The song will begin with a black and white setting with Rajnikant made to appear as Dev Anand and Shriya as yesteryear actress, Sadhana with the tune based on a popular song of the Dev-Sadhana jodi. The second part of the song will have an Eastman colour look, (a prominent feature of the mid 60s-70s Hindi cinema). In this part, Rajni will be impersonating, Shammi Kapoor, who was amongst the most popular dancing heroes during those times. Shriya will be made to appear as Saira Banu with him. The third and final part will have the superstar doing a SRK. Rajni will appear as Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge's SRK with Shriya as Kajol from the same film," our source reveals.

Doing an Amitabh Bachchan was also suggested to Rajnikanth but it is learnt that he refused to do so out of his tremendous respect for the ageing superstar and his co-star of old films like Andhaa Kanoon and Geraftaar.

In the original Tamil version, there was a similar kind of a song featuring the lead pair where Rajnikanth impersonated Tamil cinema stalwarts - MGR, Sivaji Ganesan and Kamal Haasan. For the film's dubbed Telugu version Rajnikanth re shot this song, disguised as Telugu superstars - NTR, Nageshwar Rao and Chiranjeevi. This move worked to the film's advantage and the song ended up gaining tremendous popularity.

S.C. Babu, CEO of AVM Pictures, producers of Sivaji tells us, "We are dubbing the film in Hindi after its overwhelming response in major non-Tamil speaking cities like Delhi and Mumbai. It was necessary to re shoot certain portions to cater to the Hindi speaking audience. Rajnikanth will be dedicating three to four days for its shooting. But it is less likely that he himself will be dubbing for his Hindi portions."

"We are planning a post-Diwali release. We don't want to release a dubbed version during the festive season," he adds.
