Sonu Nigam: “You Can Never Compare The Authenticity Of An Original Track”

Singer Sonu Nigam says one can never compare authenticity of an original track with a recreated version.

Recently, Sonu revamped Mohammed Rafi’s Badan pe sitare for Fanney Khan, which is an ode to people with musical aspirations.

“People and brands have been doing it and I have no complaints. But I do believe that overdoing is a bad habit and this is not just restricted to music industry,” Sonu told IANS.

“You can never compare the authenticity of an original track with the reprise version, yet there has to be a limit to the process of recreation,” he added.

For the recreated version of Badan pe sitare, Saregama India tied up with the makers of Fanney Khan. Over the last 10 months, Saregama India has been very aggressively acquiring new film music through film music acquisitions like Kahaani 2, Ittefaq, 102 Not Out and upcoming films Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se.
