The original ‘Masakali’, sung by Mohit Chauhan, was composed by Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman on lyrics by Prasoon Joshi. The song featured in the 2009 film, Delhi-6.

Both Rahman and Joshi have expressed discontent over the recreated number, and they have seen a lot of support on social media by fans as well as B-Towners.

Without mentioning the name of ‘Masakali 2.0’, Rahman had 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.”

The recreated version is sung by Sachet Tandon and Tulsi Kumar, and credits its music to Tanishk Bagchi. The song has been picturised on Tara Sutaria and Sidharth Malhotra.
