Upset that Arijit Singh sang my song 'Soch' in Hindi: Hardy Sandhu

Time and again, especially in the recent past, Bollywood makers are using reprised versions of old popular chartbusters. Whether it's Teri Toh for Rocky Handsome or Chull in Kapoor and Sons, filmmakers and composers are in for a new trend. Same happened with Akshay Kumar's Airlift.

The emotional romantic track Soch from the film is originally a Punjabi song, sung by Hardy Sandhu. Soch was translated in Hindi and the Hindi version of the song was used in Airlift. It was then that Arijit Singh was roped in to sing the Hindi version and this left Sandhu upset.

"Dukh toh hota hi hai. (I'm bound to feel sad). I was upset when they got Arijit Singh to sing the Hindi version and the recording label chose to ignore me who sang the original version. Woh gaana dil mein bas gaya hai.We've sung that song so many times and it is so special that I'd have loved to sing its film version as well," he told a leading daily.

The singer is willing to let Bollywood directors use his songs. But only on one condition: that he will be asked to sing the reprised version too.
