Singer Mohit Chauhan reacts on recreated version Of "Masakali"

Singer Mohit Chauhan says there was no point for the recreated version of "Masakali" to be named after the original as it doesn't even sound like the track he sang for "Delhi 6". The original track was penned by Prasoon Joshi and scored by AR Rahman for the 2009 film, starring Abhishek Bachchan-Sonam Kapoor starrer.

"I heard the song. But it doesn't sound like Masakali. So they could've called it something else. But to say it's Masakali and then ride



on the name of the song to make something else... If you make a new Sholay and then add anything to it, it ruins the experience of the original," Mohit told PTI.

On Wednesday, Bhushan Kumar's T-series launched the remix of the song, dubbed "Masakali 2.0", from composer Tanishq Bagchi and singers Tulsi Kumar and Sachet Tandon.

The singer said "Masakali" is an iconic song and its recreation will naturally affect the creative team.
