Pop-up: Humma Humma: Remo Fernandes damns the OK Jaanu song as pale, i

Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapoor
are getting a lot of appreciation for their
new number Humma Humma in OK Jaanu.
While the original song was composed by
AR Rahman, it has been recreated by
Tanishk and Badshah. The song is sung by
Jubin Nautiyal and Tanishk, and features a
rap from Badshah. Going by comments
circulating online, there has been a mixed
reaction to the new song.

And now, we hear Remo Fernandes, who
sang the original number, isn't too happy
with the song. "There is nothing wrong in
doing new versions of existing songs, as
long as one brings something new to the
table. It can be something plus, or at least
something different. This version of Humma
Humma, I am afraid, brings neither. It is but
a pale, insipid version of the original.
Vocally, instrumentally and arrangements-
wise, it seems to be a hurried, uninspired
job," Remo Fernandez was quoted in a Mid-
Day report.

Tanishk, however, says that the new song is
a tribute to AR Rahman. "We are getting
mixed reactions and a lot of people have
also accepted it. When I was first
approached for the song, I was excited
because, as a kid, I would always dance to
it. But, I had questioned the makers why we
were remixing a beautiful track. Rahman sir
has always been an inspiration, so for me, it
was a chance to work with him (Rahman is
the film composer). He suggested that
Badshah and I work on the song since he
knew we would bring a new flavour to it,"
Tanishk was quoted in the report.
The original song featured Manisha Koirala
and Arvind Swami. It gained huge
popularity owing to its music,
choreography and style.
