Anu Malik demands credit

Malik, in an interview with PTI, reacted to Sandese Aate Hai’s recreation. He said, “I believe the song is recreated. I’m not a part of it. I’m sure they will give my name to it as I’ve created the song. They should because people know about our contribution, they can't get away. They can't make Border 2 without Sandese Aate Hai... Both Anu Malik and Javed Akhtar are up there (in their contribution), so they will have to put our name somewhere.”Ghar Kab Aaoge, the version of Sandese Aate Hai that will feature in Border 2, is sung by Roop Kumar Rathod, Sonu Nigam, Arijit Singh, Vishal Mishra, and Diljit Dosanjh. The track originally composed by Malik is now reimagined by Mithoon. Manoj Muntashir has added additional lyrics. The song will be launched this week.Border 2 also stars Mona Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Anya Singh, Medha Rana, Paramvir Singh Cheema among many others.
