Sonakshi Sinha Reacts On The Criticism Over Mungda’s Recreation

Actress Sonakshi Sinha, who has featured in the video of the recreated version of Mungda song in Total Dhamaal, says that makers repackage iconic songs for the current generation.

Her latest dance number Mungda for the film Total Dhamaal has earned the wrath from the fans of the original number featuring Helen.

Mungda was originally sung by Usha Mangeshkar with music by Rajesh Roshan and lyrics by Majrooh Sultanpuri.

The song has been recreated by singers Jyotica Tangri, Shaan and Subhro Ganguly and music director duo Gourov-Roshin.

Reacting to the criticism, Sonakshi said: “Even I like the original better and there is no comparison with that. When we recreate a song, that time we don’t think that we will make a particular song better than the original one because when you are recreating an iconic song then there is no point making a comparison with the recreated song.”

“We are only trying to repackage that and give it to the today’s generation who might not listen to old songs. For me as an artiste, I have been told by makers of the film that they wanted me to be a part of the song as they don’t see anybody performing it so, that was a big deal for me that makers felt that I would do justice to the song and I am very happy.”
