Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman and lyricist Prasoon Joshi don’t seem happy with a new recreated version of their 2009 gem, Masakali.
The duo had created the song for Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s film Delhi-6, and on Thursday joined a growing band of social media users who have conveyed their disappointment over the new number.
Without mentioning the name of “Masakali 2.0”, Rahman tweeted: No short cuts, properly commissioned, sleepless nights, writes and re-writes. Over 200 musicians, 365 days of creative brainstorming with the main aim to produce music that can last generations. A team of a Director, a Composer, and a Lyric supported by actors, dance directors and a relentless film crew.
Along with it, Rahman shared a link of the original song, which makes it obvious what he is referring to.
