Asha Bhosle has opened up remix of her song ‘Jhumka Gira Re’ in ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani’ and said that music directors today don’t have the ability to create something new.
“If the music directors had the ability, or the singers, to bring something new… they don’t have the ability, that’s why they are recreating old songs.” Talking about the use of ‘What Jhumka’ track in Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt starrer, the legendary singer said, “For example, today ‘Jhumka Gira Re’ is working so well. It has come in a new film. It is an old song.” The song is from the 1966 film Mera Saaya.
She further added, “These songs have lyrics, singers and music. It’s a combination of everything. And not just that, even the actors. If the cinematographer had not shot the songs well, the picturisation wouldn’t have left an impact. It’s a team effort. That’s how you make a good song.”
