Alka Yagnik recently commented on the remixed version of her song Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai used in the film Crew. During an interview with Bollywood Bubble, she mentioned the trend of adding rap to songs, but but acknowledged it, as her voice remains in the song. Regarding the song’s popularity, Alka simply said that it’s very popular.
Talking about the song, the popular playback singer said, “Kya comment karu uske upar? Aur woh gaana bohot popular hai. Pehle bhi bajta tha bohot, abhi bhi baj raha hai. Maine bola ki theek hai hamara gaana hai, hamare awaaz main hi hai remix, baj raha he bajne do achcha hi hai! It is a hit song… usme rap-wap daal kar ke… theek hai yaar. Ye zamaana hi he, ye chal hi raha aisa, ye daur hi he aisa (What can I comment on that? And that song is very popular. It used to play a lot before, and it still does. I said that it’s okay, it’s our song, our voice is in the remix, let it play, it’s good! It is a hit song… adding rap or whatever… it’s okay. This is the current era, this is how it goes, this is the trend).”
In the same interview, she shared her thoughts on rap songs. She said that composers are not really doing anything new, just changing the rhythm and adding rap in between. “Naya kuch nahi kar rahe hai, bas rhythm pattern change kar rahe hain. Bich mein rap daal dete. bolte gaana hit he. Arre woh hit hi tha! Lekin Lata didi, Asha Didi ka gaana bhi utha rahe he? Those songs of that era… unko jab tehes nehes karte hei toh takleef hota he. Those are masterpieces, those should not be touched (It is nothing new, just the rhythm pattern is changed with the rap in between. That was a hit song before, also. You are even doing the same with Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle’s songs. When you play with those songs, that really pains me),” she said.
In Crew, the song has been remixed by Akshay and IP, sung by Diljit Dosanjh and IP Singh.
