Bollywood / AR Rahman talks about remix culture amid controversy over Neha Kakkar song O sajna

Ever since Neha Kakkar's new song 'O Sajna' has been released, she is being trolled fiercely. This is a remix version of Falguni Pathak's iconic song Maine Payal Hai Chhankai. As soon as Neha Kakkar's song was released, users accused her of 'ruining' it. On the other hand, Falguni Pathak has expressed displeasure from his social media page to the interview. Neha says that the people who are saying bad things about her song are upset seeing her happiness. Now veteran composer AR Rahman has given his reaction on the remix songs.

Rahman does not support the remix

The film 'Ponniyin Selvan', composed by AR Rahman, is slated to release on September 30. Rahman is also participating in many programs along with the promotion team of the film. AR Rahman does not support remix songs at all. He says that he himself is very careful when using someone's tune.

Talking to India Today, Rahman said, 'The more I watch, the worse it gets. Seems to spoil the intention of the musician. They say, I am re-imagining, who are you to re-imagine? Whenever I use someone else's work, I am very careful. You have to be respectful and I think this is a gray area and we need to sort it out.

How to Deal with Musicians?

How to deal with a musician when a producer-director requests a remix or a remake to give a modern touch to their own tunes? On this AR Rahman says, 'We had a Telugu music launch and the makers said, every song (for Ponniyin Selvan) that both of you (Mani Ratnam and AR Rahman) have composed sounds fresh because it is all in digital mastering. done, it already has that quality and everyone appreciates it. If I need to do this I'll have to recreate it again. Of course people take permission, but you can't make a recent one and recreate it because it looks weird.'

Mani Ratnam and Rahman's old relationship

Let us inform that AR Rahman has given music in many of Mani Ratnam's films. Now his 'Ponniyin Selvan' is about to release. 5 songs of the film have become a hit. The film will release in cinemas on 30 September. Its second part will come in 2023.
