The 1978 disco hit will feature on the soundtrack to the Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor starrer Agent Vinod.
"The song 'Rasputin' by legendary band Boney M has been an all time favourite. We are delighted that this song will now get a fresh lease of life," Shridhar Subramaniam, the President of India and Middle East, Sony Music, told Mumbai Mirror.
"This Indian adaptation will now be a part of the much-awaited Agent Vinod. We are confident that this adaptation will top the charts just like the original did."
Pritam explained that the track 'I'll Do The Talking', draws from a number of different sources in addition to the disco song.
The composer said: "We have taken the rights of Boney M's 'Rasputin'. However, our song is based more on the Serbian folk song 'Ruse Kose Curo Imas'.
"Even 'Rasputin' draws inspiration from this song. A Turkish folk song 'Uskudar'a Gider Iken' also has the same melody. Famous Bengali poet Kazi Nazrul Islam's song 'Shukno Paatar Noopur Paaye' is also based on this folk tune."
