Original Singer Ila Arun Responds to Remix of ‘Choli’ Song from Crew: Questions Use of Iconic Track in New Version

Renowned singer Ila Arun has recently expressed her dissatisfaction with the inclusion of her vocals in the reimagined version of the iconic song ‘Choli Ke Peeche’ for the film Crew. Despite the song featuring Arun’s original vocals, she claims that she should have been consulted or informed about the recreation beforehand.

In an interview with India Today, Arun revealed that the music company only reached out to her five minutes before the song’s launch to seek her “blessing.” She felt “dumbfounded” by the entire process, considering it to be “ethically wrong.”

Although Arun has had a positive relationship with the music label Tips, she stated that even prior consultation might not have changed her participation. She stated, “I would be in no position to refuse, but ethically, it’s wrong. If they had just spoken to me about it, it would have felt good.”

Arun went on to praise the original creators of ‘Choli Ke Peeche,’ including composers Laxmikant-Pyarelal, lyricist Anand Bakshi, and performers Madhuri Dixit and Neena Gupta. She questioned the necessity of recreating the song altogether and suggested that creating new music for younger audiences would be a more constructive approach.

“They say it’s a new thing to reach out to the younger generation. But why should we?” she asked. “You don’t have to give them what they are looking for. Why can’t they just create their own number?”

Despite the positive response to Arun’s vocals in the remake, she maintains that the experience has left her shaken. She advocates for the inclusion of original artists in the recreation process and ensuring that they receive compensation for any profits generated by the new version. “In my opinion, if you want to recreate, you should work with the original artists and keep them in the loop. And if you are making any profit, then they also should get compensation for it,” she concluded.

As of now, the makers of Crew have not responded to Ila Arun’s comments. Speaking of the film, directed by Rajesh Krishnan and starring Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Kriti Sanon, it is scheduled for release on March 29.
