After AR Rahman & Prasoon Joshi, Mohit Chauhan Reacts To Tanishk Bagchi’s Masakali 2.0

Original Masakali singer Mohit Suri has come out and has shown his anger over the recreated version of the song by Tanishk Bagchi for T-Series.

Talking about the same Mohit has said that the song doesn’t even appear like Masakali so the makers could’ve named it something else.

The singer told PTI, “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.”

Talking about how it feels bad because the remix got instant recognition, he further added, “It got instant recognition. So it feels bad. Rahman sir is a quiet person, he doesn’t say much but he’s been also showing his disapproval, even Prasoon has been talking about it. And from what I came across on social media, even people aren’t really liking it.”

Talking about how the remixes are turning up to be a herd mentality, Tanishk said, “It (recreations) has been happening for too long and it’s too much now. Initially, it wasn’t as much, then some worked and you felt, ok, good, these clicked but now it has become a heard mentality. There are remixes of remixes now. I don’t know if there’s a dearth of creativity which why people are piggy-backing on songs, or if there’s a business angle for the labels. But I feel ultimately the creator should have control over where the song is going. Because it’s in public and everyone can hear it. If you want to do something with it, contact the original people and see if you can get it.
