Music maestro AR Rahman is known for his calm and composed temperament. But a recent Bollywood remix of one of his songs has irked the Oscar-winning composer. Rahman expressed his anger on social media after the remake of his chartbuster song Masakali was released this week. The remake Masakali 2.0 is produced by T-series and is sung by Sachet Tandon and Tulsi Kumar. Tanishk Bagchi has rendered music for the latest version. It crossed 13 million views in less than 24 hours of its release.
Featuring Tara Sutaria and Sidharth Malhotra, the song not only received terrible reviews but also angered Rahman. Rahman took to twitter to express disappointment subtly by posting the original link and said, “No short cuts, properly commissioned, sleepless nights, writes and re-writes. Over 200 musicians, 365 days of creative brainstorming to produce music that can last generations. A team of a director, a composer and a lyricist supported by actors, dance directors, and a relentless film crew. Lots of love and prayers, A.R. Rahman.” That’s not all, he also posted an ambiguous quote talking about patience and anger on Instagram that confirmed that he is not happy with the remake.
