New Delhi: Not everyone is a fan of remixes and recreation of old songs and is not happy with the current trends of reprising almost all old popular songs. The latest song that has been recreated in Bollywood is the evergreen ‘Aap Jaisa Koi’, by Nazia Hassan, from the film 'Qurbani'. The song has been re-created for Ayushmann Khurrana’s film ‘An Action Hero’. Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui is not pleased with the song and has expressed his displeasure.
The actor took to Twitter and wrote, "Is there something in the air that the world has suddenly developed a penchant for ruining perfect classics? Even re-creation requires talent. Nazia Hassan must be turning in her grave. #AapJaisaKoi nahi..."
Many fans agreed with him and wrote, “They just completely ruined it.” Another user commented, “What is with Bollywood ruining our classics?” One user added, “Just shows people lack own initiative and lack skill knowledge in writing. It's easier to copy others' fine tune and music. Lack of creativity." “This is pathetic rendition of an immortal classic number by the late stunning Nazia Hassan ji is absolutely atrocious..!” wrote another.
Featuring Malaika Arora Khan and Ayushmann, the track has been sung by Zahrah S Khan and Altamash Faridi with the music recreated by Tanishk Bagchi.
Earlier while talking about the song Ayushmann Khurrana had said, "Aap Jaisa Koi is a foot-tapping track and I am sure it is going to be a chartbuster this party season. I thoroughly enjoyed shaking a leg with Malaika and learnt some grooves. I'm sure it'll have a connect."
Malaika Arora too had praised the song and said, "Aap Jaisa Koi has a very groovy vibe. Not once we felt like we were shooting or rehearsing for the song, but just enjoying our time with it. Ayushmann and I enjoyed it to the core. He has got some great moves. I am excited to see how fans will react to the song.”
'An Action Hero' is slated to hit the big screen this December 2.
