The music directors of the film 'Crew', Akshay Raheja and IP Singh, recently addressed the controversy surrounding the remix of the song 'Choli Ke Peeche' and expressed their respect for the original singer, Ila Arun. They shared their thoughts in an interview with IndiaToday.in.
Akshay mentioned that Ila Arun's concern was primarily about not being informed about the remix. He acknowledged her legendary status in the music industry and emphasized that they hold utmost respect for her. He also noted that they received positive feedback from fans who appreciated how they retained the essence of the original song while creating the remix. They ensured that they didn't alter Ila Arun or Alka Yagnik's vocals, which contributed to the song's success.
When questioned about the fairness of the label not informing Ila Arun about the remix, IP Singh refrained from commenting on the matter, stating that it was between Ila Ji and the label to resolve.
Regarding the trend of remixes and its future, IP Singh expressed a neutral perspective, stating that there is no harm in remixes as long as the music is good and everyone involved is given their due credit. He highlighted that audience preference plays a significant role in determining the success of remixes versus original songs.
In conclusion, they emphasized that the success of music, whether original or remixed, depends on its quality and audience reception. As for 'Crew', starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, Tabu, and Kriti Sanon, it continues to perform well at the box office.
