Disapproving Salman Khan scolded Kaanta Laga directors for scandalous song: ‘Sexy kaam hai kam kiya karo'
Filmmakers Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru recently spilled the beans about how their Kaanta Laga video, which starred Shefali Zariwala wearing a thong and adult content, created quite a stir back then. (Also read: 'He's 60! Let him be chubby': Fans defend Salman Khan amid online body-shaming) The filmmaker duo in an interview with Hindi Rush, disclosed how they received backlash from Central Board of Film Certification stating that they have disturbed the moral fibre of the nation after that video came out. They further added how Salman Khan also called them to stop doing such "sexy" videos. Vinay in the interview said, "A big actor called us to his house, and he told us, 'Main tumhe samjha raha hoon Radhika-Vinay, yeh jo sexy kaam hai kam kiya karo, acha nahi hota (I'm trying to make you understand, don't do such sexy songs, it doesn't look good)'. He just said, 'You've got nice, pure minds'." When asked who it was, they named Salman Khan. The filmmakers said that back then, they had hit a creative road block while doing only cute videos and thought of branching out which resulted in their remix era. 'We were doing cute and innocent songs with Falguni Pathak. We were doing songs with ghazals with Jagjit Singh and Pankaj Udhas. As creative people, musically we needed some change. One day, we went to Salman Khan's house. He was exercising while listening to a Jhankaar Beats remix of a Kishore Kumar song. An idea sparked, and that's what began the remix trend in India. We made Kaliyon Ka Chaman, Kaanta Laga, Chadti Jawani… The sound organically reminds you of a nightclub, to a sensual visualisation,' Vinay said. After the success of their Sanam Teri Kasam re-release in theatres, the director duo are planning to make a sequel to the film. While they are certain to bring back Harshvardhan Rane from the original cast, they have categorically denied to cast Pakistani actor Mawra Hocane due to ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan.

Salman Khan Didn't Like Kaanta Laga Remix: " Yeh Sexy Kaam Acha Nahi Hota"
New Delhi: Back in the 90s, the video of the Kaanta Laga remix - featuring Shefali Jariwala - caused an uproar in the world of pop culture. Shefali Jariwala, as a bold party girl, watching adult content didn't sit well with the Censor Board and eventually the directors Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru received a warning from the board. In a recent interview, the director duo recalled the backlash and revealed Salman Khan didn't approve of the song as well. Vinay recalled, "A big actor called us to his house, and he told us, 'Main tumhe samjha raha hoon Radhika Vinay, yeh jo sexy kaam hai kam kiya karo, acha nahi hota (I'm trying to make you understand, don't do such sexy songs, it doesn't look good)'. He just said, 'You've got nice, pure minds'." Asked to reveal the name of the big star, they named Salman Khan. Ironically, the director duo came up with the idea of making such video when they saw Salman Khan listening to a Jhankaar Beats remix of a Kishore Kumar song while working out. They continued, "One day, we went to Salman Khan's house. He was exercising while listening to a Jhankaar Beats remix of a Kishor Kumar song. An idea sparked, and that's what began the remix trend in India. We made Kaliyon Ka Chaman, Kaanta Laga, Chadti Jawani... The sound organically reminds you of a nightclub, to a sensual visualisation." The music of Kaanta Laga was composed by R. D. Burman. It was from the film titled Samadhi featuring Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Asha Parekh. The song was remixed by T-Series album DJ Doll with an accompanying music video featuring Shefali Jariwala. Shefali became an overnight sensation with the video.

Salman Khan Was ANGRY About Kaanta Laga Song: 'Yeh Jo Sexy Kaam Hai, Kam Kiya Karo'
Last Updated: Filmmakers who directed the controversial music video Kaanta Laga, faced criticism from Salman Khan. Filmmakers Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru, the duo behind Sanam Teri Kasam, recently spilled some old tea about their hit music video Kaanta Laga. Back when it released, the video, a 90s remix – starring Shefali Jariwala as a bold party girl in a thong, watching adult content – caused quite a stir. While Radhika and Vinay said they didn't mean to offend anyone, the video didn't sit well with the censor board, and they got a warning. What's more, even Salman Khan wasn't impressed and reportedly scolded them for it. Funny enough, they later worked with him in Lucky: No Time for Love and even directed songs for some of his films. Vinay recalled, 'A big actor called us to his house, and he told us, 'Main tumhe samjha raha hoon Radhika Vinay, yeh jo sexy kaam hai kam kiya karo, acha nahi hota (I'm trying to make you understand, don't do such sexy songs, it doesn't look good)'. He just said, 'You've got nice, pure minds'." When asked who it is, they named Salman Khan. The filmmaker duo said they just wanted to try something new creatively. Before doing remix videos, they were known for emotional songs. 'We were doing cute and innocent songs with Falguni Pathak. We were doing songs with Jagjit Singh and Pankaj Udhas. As creative people, we wanted to evolve." This one time, they visited Salman Khan at his house and saw him working out while listening to a Jhankaar Beats remix of a Kishore Kumar song. That moment gave them the idea to explore remixes. They continued, 'One day, we went to Salman Khan's house. He was exercising while listening to a Jhankaar Beats remix of a Kishor Kumar song. An idea sparked, and that's what began the remix trend in India. We made 'Kaliyon Ka Chaman', 'Kaanta Laga', 'Chadti Jawani'… The sound organically reminds you of a nightclub, to a sensual visualisation." First Published:
