AR Rahman, Prasoon Joshi upset with recreated version of 'Masakali'
Mumbai, April 9 (IANS) Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman and lyricist Prasoon Joshi don't seem happy with a newly recreated version of their 2009 gem, "Masakali". The duo had created the song for Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's film "Delhi-6", and on Thursday joined a growing band of social media users who have conveyed their disappointment over the new number.## Without mentioning the name of "Masakali 2.0", Rahman tweeted: "No short cuts, properly commissioned, sleepless nights, writes and re-writes. Over 200 musicians, 365 days of creative brainstorming with the main aim to produce music that can last generations. A team of a Director, a Composer, and a Lyric supported by actors, dance directors, and a relentless film crew."## Along with it, Rahman shared a link to the original song, which makes it obvious what he is referring to.## Sonam Kapoor, on whom the original song was picturized, retweeted Rahman's tweet.## Lyricist Prasoon Joshi urged fans to stand for originality. "All songs were written for #Delhi6 including #Masakali close to heart, sad to see when the original creation of @arrahman@prasoonjoshi_ &singer @_MohitChauhan insensitively utilized," Joshi wrote.## Taking a direct jibe at the music label T-Series, which has brought out the remix, the lyricist added: "Up to the conscience of @Tseries... Hopefully, the fans will stand for originality."## "Masakali 2.0" is sung by Tulsi Kumar and Sachet Tandon, with music by Tanishk Bagchi. The song is picturized on Tara Sutaria and Sidharth Malhotra.## Stay tuned...
