The
makers
of
Khaali
Peeli
on
September
7,
released
the
first
song
of
the
Ishaan
Khatter
and
Ananya
Panday-starrer.
However
due
words
like
'Goriya'
and
'Beyonce'
in
the
song's
lyrics
the
makers
were
highly
trolled
and
called
racists.
A
new
song
has
been
released
with
changed
lyrics
after
the
outrage
on
social
media.
Both
words
have
been
changed
in
the
song
and
it
is
now
called
as
'Duniya
Sharma
Jayegi'.
The
new
version
was
released
alongside
a
new
song
from
the
film
called,
'Tehas
Nehas',
featuring
Ishaan
Khatter
and
Ananya
Pandey
while
romancing
in
a
garage.
The
original
hook
line
said,
'Ho
tujhe
dekh
ke
goriya,
Beyonce
sharma
jayegi'.
The
line
was
considered
by
many
a
jibe
at
'dark-skinned'
people
and
netizens
even
apologised
to
American
pop
superstar
Beyonce
for
the
comment.
The
song
did
not
go
down
well
with
netizens
especially
because
of
the
ongoing
Black
Lives
Matter
movement.
Penned
by
Kumaar
and
Raj
Shekhar,
the
song
is
composed
by
Vishal-Shekhar.
It
is
sung
by
Nakash
Aziz
and
Neeti
Mohan.
Take
a
look
at
the
new
version:
Director
Maqbool
Khan
opened
up
about
the
controversy
and
had
said
in
an
interview,
"The
comparison
with
Beyonce
is
simply
meant
to
be
a
street-smart
guy
flattering
a
girl
who
is
trying
to
impress
that
her
dancing
and
performance
is
worth
comparing
to
Beyonce,
who
we
all
see
as
the
final
word,
the
epitome
of
talent,
beauty,
performance,
style
and
attitude.
We
are
all
huge
fans,
and
there
was
never
any
question
of
disrespect."
