Abhijeet Bhattacharya on Chunari Chunari remake
During a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Abhijeet Bhattacharya revealed that neither the music composer nor the director (David Dhawan) informed him that the song was being remade. "Himmat bhi nahi kar sakte batane ki (They can’t dare to inform me),” he said.
When asked if he minds about the song being reimagined, the singer, in his signature style, admitted, “Mujhe farak nahi padhta itni chhoti cheez se (I don’t care about such little things). I don’t get involved much.”
“In the market, copies are sold more than the original. Only great people know the value of the original. Tuchhi cheez mein main padhta hi nahi hoon (I don’t get involved in such petty things),” he further added.
Abhijeet Bhattacharya calls Chunari Chunari 'not a great song'
In addition to this, during the conversation, Bhattacharya revealed that the song was never his personal favorite. According to him, Chunari Chunari was "not a great song...never," he stressed.
The 66-year-old singer claimed that the musical piece was sung in a hurry, and he doesn’t count it among his "great songs." Abhijeet claimed that it was one of those few songs where the makers wanted to make the lyrics a hit somehow.
Nonetheless, Bhattacharya agreed that he has heard the song being played at functions and parties for the past 25 years. The veteran singer, however, agrees that the song has become iconic for fans.
Chunari Chunari was a part of the 1999 film, Biwi No. 1 which was originally picturized on Salman Khan and Sushmita Sen. Even two decades later, it continues to rule the hearts of fans and social media.
