‘JHMS’: Makers credit Aaman Trikha for ‘Butterfly’ song, forget primary singer Dev Negi

The ‘Butterfly’ song from ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ (JHMS) has Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma shaking a leg with a rhythmic love track. A couple of days back, singer Aaman Trikha took to Twitter to share how glad he was to have sung this song. SRK even responded to him, saying he had brought life to the number.

However, major portions of the song have been sung by singer Dev Negi, whereas Trikha has his share of a few lines in the song. The former is upset with not being given due credits.

“The male voice is mine. Maybe, Aaman was credited by mistake. I will talk to the label about it. SRK’s voice in the song is mine. Pritam da must be busy. Also, he doesn’t have the time to look into these things. But it’s unfair,” he told Mid-Day. (Also Read: When Anushka Sharma turned a saviour for her ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ team)

Aaman, on the other hand, doesn’t see any error. “Pritam da had called me and I recorded the song. Both the singers have been credited for it, so, why is there a problem? Everyone, including SRK, has acknowledged my work. Are they all wrong? It’s a proud moment for me because it’s my first song for him. I haven’t been credited out of the blue. I have recorded the song. What happens in the mixing is out of my control,” he said.

Composer Pritam Chakraborty said everyone who lent their voices was to be credited as per the rules and therefore Aaman was credited duly.
