The highly anticipated film Border 2, featuring Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, and Diljit Dosanjh, is gearing up for its January 23 release. Ahead of its debut, the film's most awaited song, 'Ghar Kab Aaoge', a recreation of the iconic 'Sandese Aate Hain' from the original Border, sparked a significant controversy. Music maestro Anu Malik, who originally composed 'Sandese Aate Hain', reportedly expressed displeasure over not being credited for the new track, voicing his concerns in an interview and hoping the filmmakers would acknowledge his contribution.
Anu Malik's Initial Concern Anu Malik had stated, "I believe this song has been remade. I am not a part of it. I am very sure they will give my name in it because I made this song. They should, because people know about our contribution, they cannot ignore it. They cannot make 'Border 2' without 'Sandese Aate Hain'." This sentiment led to widespread discussion regarding intellectual property and due recognition in remakes.
The Reality: Credits Were Given However, contrary to initial reports and Anu Malik's claim, the facts suggest a different story. When T-Series released the teaser for 'Ghar Kab Aaoge' on December 29, the song credits prominently featured Anu Malik's name first, alongside Javed Akhtar, who penned the original lyrics. Both their names were also clearly included in the song description, confirming their rightful recognition for the original composition and lyrics.
