Neither
the
netizens
nor
the
makers
of
the
original
song,
Masakali
from
Delhi
6
are
impressed
with
Sidharth
Malhotra
and
Tara
Sutaria's
Masakali
2.0.
The
song
is
nothing
but
a
failed
attempt
to
recreate
an
iconic
song,
composed
by
AR
Rahman
and
sung
by
Mohit
Chauhan.
Yesterday,
AR
Rahman
slammed
the
remake
version
of
Masakali
on
his
Twitter
page
and
wrote,
"No
short
cuts,
properly
commissioned,
sleepless
nights,
writes
and
re-writes.
Over
200
musicians,
365
days
of
creative
brainstorming
with
the
aim
to
produce
music
that
can
last
generations.
A
team
of
a
Director,
a
Composer
and
a
Lyricist
supported
by
actors,
dance
directors
and
a
relentless
film
crew."
Now,
Delhi
6
director
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra
also
slammed
the
makers
of
Masakali
2.0
and
tweeted,
"#Delhi6
the
movie
&
it's
songs
created
with
so
much
Luv
&
passion,
let's
save
the
original
creations
for
generations
to
come.
#saynotoRemixes."
Sharing
Rahman's
tweet,
he
further
added,
"#Masakali
#Delhi6
Created
with
love
&
passion
an
iconic
song
that
has
to
be
preserved.
Beware
of
the
re-
mix
it
will
damage
your
eardrums."
For
the
unversed,
the
remix
is
sung
by
Tulsi
Kumar
and
Sachet
Tandon
and
composed
by
Tanishk
Bagchi.
Lyricist
Prasoon
Joshi
also
expressed
his
displeasure
over
the
remake
of
the
Masakali
song
and
wrote,
"All
songs
written
for
#Delhi6
including
#Masakali
close
to
heart,sad
to
see
when
original
creation
of
@arrahman
@prasoonjoshi_
&singer
@_MohitChauhan
insensitively
utilised.
Upto
the
conscience
of
@Tseries.
Hopefully
the
fans
will
stand
for
originality.
@RakeyshOmMehra."
Many
netizens
lauded
AR
Rahman,
Prasoon
Joshi
and
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra
for
calling
out
remixes
and
wished
no
more
iconic
Bollywood
songs
get
ruined
by
the
remixing.
Dear
netizens,
we
doubt
your
wish
will
be
fulfilled.
Pun
intended!
