‘Tuchhi cheez…': What does Abhijeet Bhattacharya think of Chunari Chunari's remake for Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai? Find out
Varun Dhawan, Mrunal Thakur, and Pooja Hegde starrer Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai was officially announced just a couple of days back. The upcoming rom-com will also be recreating the iconic Chunari Chunari song from Biwi No.1 sung by Abhijeet Bhattacharya. Most recently, the veteran singer clarified that he doesn't care about it as he shared his views on the song's recreation.
Abhijeet Bhattacharya on Chunari Chunari remake
During a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Abhijeet Bhattacharya revealed that neither the music composer nor the director (David Dhawan) informed him that the song was being remade. "Himmat bhi nahi kar sakte batane ki (They can't dare to inform me),' he said.
When asked if he minds that the song carrying an emotional value amongst fans is being reimagined. In his signature style, the veteran singer, without any hesitation, admitted, 'Mujhe farak nahi padhta itni chhoti cheez se (I don't care about such little things). I don't get involved much.'
'In the market, copies are sold more than the original. Only great people know the value of the original. Tuchhi cheez mein main padhta hi nahi hoon (I don't get involved in such petty things),' he further added.
Abhijeet Bhattacharya calls Chunari Chunari 'not a great song'
In addition to this, during the conversation, Bhattacharya revealed that the song was never his personal favorite. According to him, Chunari Chunari was "not a great song...never," he stressed.
The 66-year-old singer claimed that it was one of the songs that was sung in a hurry and that he doesn't count it amongst his "great songs." He claimed that it was one of those few songs where the makers intended to make the lyrics to become a hit somehow.
Nonetheless, Bhattacharya agreed that he has heard the song being played at functions and parties for the past 25 years. He admitted wondering what it was about the song, as he didn't remember anything from the time he sang it. However, the veteran singer realizes that the song has become iconic for fans.
Chunari Chunari song was a part of the 1999 film, Biwi No. 1 which was originally picturized on Salman Khan and Sushmita Sen. Even two decades later, the song continues to rule the hearts of fans and social media.

Chunky Panday shoots in Kullu Manali after three decades
Mumbai: Actor Chunky Panday shot in the Himalayan range of Kullu Manali after a long gap of three decades. Dropping some titbits from his shoot diaries on social media, Chunky posted a group of photos, posing amidst the beautiful backdrop full of lush green mountains and small houses, with a river flowing, making the scene even more exquisite. The 'Housefull' actor even posted a short clip of the breathtaking scene amidst which he is filming his next project. "Filming in this Himalayan Delight after 30 years. #kullumanali," Chunky captioned the post. While it was not disclosed in the post which project Chunky is shooting for at the moment, he will next be seen in the much-anticipated laughter ride, "Housefull 5". The Tarun Mansukhani directorial enjoys a star-studded cast with Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Fardeen Khan, Shreyas Talpade, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff, Dino Morea, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangada Singh, Sonam Bajwa, Soundarya Sharma, Nikitin Dheer and Johnny Lever playing pivotal roles. For the first time in Bollywood history, 19 A-list Bollywood stars will be seen sharing screen space together. Talking about the challenges faced while doing the unthinkable, director Tarun shared, 'Bringing together 19 A-listers sounds insane on paper, and it was just as mad in real life, in the best way. As a director, I knew I had my work cut out. There was no ego or flair, just pure love for the story from every actor bringing madcap energy to the set." In addition to "Housefull 5", Chunky has also been roped in for David Dhawan's "Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai". With Varun Dhawan as the lead, the romantic comedy will star Mrunal Thakur, Mouni Roy, Pooja Hegde, Maniesh Paul, Jimmy Shergill, Rakesh Bedi, Ali Asgar, Kubbra Sait, Rohit Saraf, Rajeev Khandelwal, Nitish Nirmal, and Sreeleela in key roles.
