Kartik Aaryan is back in another remake, this time of the global chartbuster ‘Pasoori,’ sung and written by Pakistani musician Ali Sethi. The song has been redone for the next film, ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha’, and has been dubbed ‘Pasoori Nu’.
‘Satyaprem Ki Katha’ reunites Kartik with Kiara Advani, while ‘Pasoori Nu’ has been performed by none other than Arijit Singh, a well-known Indian playback singer.
The song was released by the creators on Monday, and it has received mixed reactions from the audience, with the majority of them expressing dissatisfaction with the remake of the famous original.
The first thing that listeners noticed when the song was announced was that the new ‘Pasoori Nu’ came with a set of fresh lyrics.
Given that Pakistani artists have been barred from engaging with the Indian film industry, netizens asked if the new lyrics were penned by Ali Sethi himself.
However, it turns out that the new lyrics were written by Gurpreet Saini, and Sethi has been awarded credit for the original lyrics and music. The credits for ‘Pasoori Nu’ state, “Lyrics by Gurpreet Saini X Ali Sethi” and “Written by Ali Sethi.”
‘Pasoori’ was originally sung by Ali Sethi and Shae Gill, and in the new ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha’ version, Arijit Singh crooned it, with Tulsi Kumar recording the female portion.
Meanwhile, ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha’ is expected to be released on June 29. The film is described as an intense love story of a couple that begins after their wedding.
The film has been produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by Sameer Vidwans.
