To cash in on the Pakistani song Pasoori's popularity, the makers of Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani's upcoming film 'Satyaprem Ki Katha' are reportedly recreating the song for the film.
New Delhi: Pakistani song ‘Pasoori’ was the most googles song of 2022 in the world. The song was a smash hit in the Indian subcontinent. To cash in on the song's popularity, the makers of Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani's upcoming film 'Satyaprem Ki Katha' are reportedly recreating the song for the film. As soon as the news broke out, social media users from Pakistan were quick to react negatively to the reports.
The news about the recreated version of 'Pasoori', which is originally sung by Ali Sethi and Shae Gil, did not go down well with 'Pasoori' fans.
A Twitter user wrote: "Can they really remake Pasoori just on a whim? afaik that's an original song and should be strictly copyrighted to its makers? so did the makers give permission to the movie makers to 'recreate' the song or are they just gonna shamelessly bypass all that? how does that work?"
"Bollywood is recreating PASOORI????" questioned a netizen.
One said: "If pasoori is to be remade, it should be for a PAKISTANI FILM and not for a third class Bollywood film! They disrespect our artists, our country in their movies, and then shamelessly copy our songs."
"Bollywoodwallahs are such morons. Abundance of money really does make one lazy and uncreative. I do not wish their dolled up stars dancing on Pasoori. Morons," said another.
An angry user added: "it's the way y'all would shamelessly claim that pasoori is your song and you'd give no credits at all to ali sethi and shae gill, that's what y'all did with nach punjaban.
The film revolves around Satyaprem, who is desperate to get married and finds true love in Kiara's character of Katha. The film gets its title from its lead characters and their love story.
Produced by NGE and Namah Pictures, 'Satyaprem Ki Katha' is a musical drama. It has been directed by Sameer Vidwans, and also stars Gajraj Rao and Supriya Pathak.
The film is set to debut in cinemas on June 29.
