AR Rahman takes a sly dig at ‘Masakali 2.0’; urges fans to enjoy the original

‘Masakali 2.0’ song was unveiled yesterday and the viewers had mixed opinions about it. It is a remake of the beautiful song from the 2009 film ‘Delhi-6’ which has been revamped for today’s audience. But, looks like AR Rahman, who originally composed the song, did not like it at all. The highly celebrated musician indirectly took a dig at the remake and urged his fans to listen and enjoy the original.

Yesterday, after ‘Masakali 2.0’ was released, Rahman took to his Twitter handle to give out his views and it was clear that he was unimpressed by the new version. The musician wrote, about the making process of the original ‘Masakali’, that there were no shortcuts taken and it was properly commissioned project.

He also said that it took a year to produce the music that would last generations. He even urged his fans to listen to the original song as he wrote, “Enjoy the original #Masakali https://bit.ly/OGmasakali @RakeyshOmMehra @prasoonjoshi_ @_MohitChauhan.”

The original song featured Sonam Kapoor with a white fan-tailed pigeon who came to be known as ‘Masakali’ after the song. The reprised version featured Sidharth Malhotra and Tara Sutaria in their ‘Marjaavan’ avatars. ‘Masakali 2.0’ has been recreated by none other than Tanishk Bagchi and it is sung by Tulsi Kumar and Sachet Tandon.
