A Little Birdie informs us that, "Neil Bhatt and Smriti Kalra have come down to shoot the dance sequence on a short notice from Delhi and they will be performing on a peppy number from the movie Love Aaj Kal and also on the title track from the movie Dil Bole Hadippa. They have finished the shoot at filmcity today."

Our source also adds that, "Smriti Kalra and Neil Bhatt landed in Mumbai last night and were briefed about their performance thereafter. Then with the technical they gave the final take today."

When contacted, Smriti Karla confirmed the news saying, "Yes we are performing for the Ganpati festival special episode. We didn't get much time for rehearsals but luckily the performance went on well. We have finished with the shoot and now we are packing our bags to get back to Delhi as we need to resume our shoot for Karol Bagh."

We tried calling both Iqbal Khan and Binny Sharma but they remained unavailable for comments.
