Sonu Nigam Called AR Rahman’s Songs In Salman Khan Starrer Yuvvraaj “Bekaar” & Useless
The legendary playback singer Sonu Nigam who is undoubtedly one of the most talented and most loved playback singers of the Indian cinema has recently made a bold statement regarding AR Rahman’s music in the 2008 Bollywood film Yuvvraaj.
Sonu Nigam, known for his melodious voice and candid remarks, described the album as “bekaar” (useless), stating that he cannot “lie and praise a bad song”.
During an interview, Sonu Nigam was asked about his experience of working on Yuvvraaj with Rahman. Speaking about the song Shano Shano, he stated that the song is pretty average and it wasn’t a good one. He asked the interviewer to avoid talking about the song as he won’t be able to lie and praise a bad song. When he was asked about the two songs, he bluntly asked the interviewer to forget about them as all the songs of the movie Yuvvraaj were bad and useless.
Yuvvraaj, directed by Subhash Ghai, was a musical romantic drama starring Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor and Zayed Khan. The film focused on a fragmented family of three brothers vying to inherit their father’s wealth while exploring themes of arrogance and youthful overconfidence. Despite its star-studded cast and musical aspirations, Yuvvraaj failed to perform at the box office after its release on November 21, 2008.
Interestingly, Subhash Ghai had earlier revealed that AR Rahman’s Oscar-winning song Jai Ho was initially composed for Yuvvraaj. In an interview, Subhash Ghai revealed that initially “Jai Ho” was composed for Yuvvraaj but after recording, he (Subhash Ghai) felt that the song won’t work in that situation and later on, AR Rahman gave it to Slumdog Millionaire as it was his composition.
AR Rahman’s work on Slumdog Millionaire proved to be a milestone in his career, as he went on to win two Academy Awards at the 81st Oscars—Best Original Song for Jai Ho and Best Original Score.
