“I Categorically Said No.” A.R. Rahman Always Thought ‘Humma Humma’ Remix Was A Bad Idea.

AR Rahman is one of the most prolific artists in the music industry, making waves both domestically and beyond borders. The oscar winning music composer has produced several evergreen hits such as the songs from ‘Bombay’, ‘Dil Se..’ and ‘Saathiya’.

In a recent interview to Huffington Post, Rahman was asked for his opinion about a remixed version of his evergreen classic, ‘Humma Humma’. Turns out, he always thought it was a bad idea.

“I had a complete block. I categorically said ‘No’ when Karan Johar (producer, ‘Ok Jaanu’) and Shaad Ali (director) came to me with it. I said I don’t think this is a good idea. Let’s not do it.”

Why fix something that’s not broken, right?

However, Karan Johar and Shaad Ali still seemed convinced that Badshah could put a fresh spin on the track that would appeal to a younger audience.

“Now that the song has released, it’s apparently a big hit, so I guess they were probably right.”

Rahman still doesn’t seem fully convinced about it, though.
