Sonu Nigam and Udit Narayan fight to sing 'Khaike paan Banaraswala' for Farhan Akhtar's Don. Udit wins

Subhash K Jha

Sonu Nigam left no stone unturned to bag the chart-buster song 'Khaike paan Banaraswala' in Don, but all his efforts were in vain as director Farhan Akhtar and the music composers Shankar-Ehsan-Loy chose singer Udit Narayan over him.

"We're aware of how eager Sonu was to sing 'Khaike paan'. In fact he sent us feelers repeatedly," says Ehsaan. "But that earthy UP ka bhaiyya flavour sounded best in Udit's voice. So we selected him, and he has done a good job."

Sonu was quite disappointed and made no efforts to conceal his displeasure. How does Udit feel about that? "Yes, I've heard and read that my getting the song has not gone down too well with Sonu," replies Udit. "But I can't help it if I'm more suited to sing a particular song. There are so many songs that Sonu sings, which I'd like to sing. It's all part of the game. This isn't the first time that Sonu has expressed a grievance about me. When I got my second National award he had made some curious comments about the quality of songs that get such awards. To each his own. I've never made any comments even when I've missed out on popular awards for so many of my deserving songs."


• That earthy UP ka bhaiyya flavour sounded best in Udit's voice. So we selected him — Ehsaan

Ehsaan is def. right Udit belongs to Bihar ,and will obviously catch the feel better.

Writers like to make headlines so provocative 😆 FIGHT?? 😆 Well I am glad Uditji is going to sing it.....can't wait 😃

Sonu has gone NUTS.

He will come down too. I still remember the humble Sonu bowing down to touch his head to Anil Biswas's feet. Success made him arrogant. This is what happens if someone bebomes very successful at a very young age.

But again, its a Subhas Jha article. 🤢

Is HR against Sonu ??

Arre bhai isme HR ka kya lena dena hai.. composers to SEL hai

Waise baat nikli hai to yea.. I think HR and Sonu don't see eye to eye nowadays. I heard Sonu's going around town degrading HR's nasal singing. Maybe he feels threatened by HR's popularity, or by HR's promotion of Vinit, or both.

We can't have 2 Sonus in one industry, you see 😛
