Singer-turned-union minister Babul Supriyo said that Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s voice in a song that features in Bollywood film Welcome To New York, must be removed and dubbed by someone else.
Actor Salman Khan apparently got Arijit Singh’s voice replaced in Tiger Zinda Hai, and he is said to have done it again for Welcome To New York. (Also Read: Welcome To New York’s new song Ishtehaar will hit the right chords in your heart)
Supriyo said that he is not able to comprehend the need or desire to cross the border for entertainment content at a time when tensions on the India-Pakistan border have escalated.
“If that’s true, I would request the makers of the film to remove Rahat’s voice and get someone else to dub it! I am also not sure why Atif Aslam got to sing Dil Diya Gallan (Tiger Zinda Hai) when for sure our very own Arijit could have done a much better job. The FM stations played the song galore while news channels announced the name of our soldiers martyred by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists,” he said.
