Neil shared the magical moment on Instagram, posting a captivating video of the ensemble performing the timeless "Jeena Yahan Marna Yahan" alongside Nitin Mukesh, the son of the legendary singer Mukesh, who originally lent his soulful voice to the iconic track.

For the caption, Neil wrote: “What an amazing evening it was celebrating the grand release of our web Show “Hai Junoon” with loved ones And what made it even more memorable was the honor and love shown by the entire team, especially my producers, Aditya Bhat, @sagar_cinemakid , and @jiohotstar @jio_creative_labs.

“Their tribute to my grandfather , the legendary Mukesh ji, was a touching and humbling gesture that added depth and meaning to the occasion,” he added.

Neil went on to express gratitude to his father Nitin Mukesh.

“Papa @nitinmukesh9 cannot thank you enough for you just being you. So selfless, so strong and so pure. This occasion would be incomplete without your presence. You made it shine. JEENA YAHAN MARNA YAHAN ISKE SIVA JANA KAHAN @boman_irani @jacquelienefernandez @anushamani.”

"Jeena Yahan Marna Yahan" is picturised on legendary actor Raj Kapoor. Mera Naam Joker stars Raj Kapoor as the eponymous character, with his son Rishi Kapoor making his screen debut playing his younger version, along with Simi Garewal, Kseniya Ryabinkina, Padmini, Manoj Kumar and Dharmendra in supporting roles.

The plot focuses on a clown who must make his audience laugh at the cost of his sorrows; three women who shaped his life view his final performance.

Neil took to his stories section on the photo-sharing app and posted a funny boomerang with Jacqueline.

He wrote: “Don’t blame us. Promotions generally do this to us. PS: Could not find a better track to match this track.”

He also shared a video with Boman and said: “How I simply love his man. I love you Boman Irani sir.”

Such a beautiful tribute to Mukesh ji's legacy! Neil and Nitin Mukesh together is pure nostalgia. Raj Kapoor's Mera Naam Joker remains timeless, and this rendition does justice to the original. More such collaborations please! ❤️

Honestly, while the effort is commendable, no one can match Mukesh ji's original soulful voice. The new version feels too polished - the raw emotion of the original is missing. But kudos to Neil for keeping his grandfather's legacy alive.

Mera Naam Joker is a masterpiece that gets better with time! Seeing three generations of musical talent come together - Mukesh ji, Nitin ji and now Neil - is truly special. The song's philosophy about life is more relevant today than ever. #GoldenEraOfBollywood

The video gave me goosebumps! 😍 Nitin Mukesh still has that magical voice after all these years. And Neil's respect for his father and grandfather is so heartwarming. Our film industry needs more such meaningful tributes rather than just remixes.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I wish they had chosen a less overdone song from Mera Naam Joker. There are so many gems in that soundtrack that don't get enough attention. Still, nice to see Boman Irani and Jacqueline joining in - quite an interesting combo!

This makes me want to rewatch Mera Naam Joker tonight! Raj Kapoor's performance was legendary, and Mukesh ji's voice was like honey. Good to see the younger generation respecting our cinematic heritage. More power to the Mukesh family! 🙏
