The trend of remixing iconic songs has been put in the spot time and again. While some feel that it is a good way to pay a homage to the older version and make it popular among the younger generation, some feel that old, iconic numbers should be left untouched. No matter how much the remix version face the brunt of being compared to the original number, Bollywood's obsession with remixes continues to stay intact. And the latest one to join the trend is the Punjabi version of the famous Geeta Dutt number 'Mera Naam Chin Chin Chu' from the 1958 film 'Howrah Bridge'. The new song features in the movie 'Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi' featuring Sonakshi Sinha, Jassie Gill, Jimmy Shergill, and Piyush Mishra, while the original song featured veteran actors Helen and Ashok Kumar.
