Abhijeet opened up about working with composer Anu Malik and revealed that he was originally supposed to sing Gori Gori, but the song ended up being voiced by Malik himself.
Abhijeet Bhattacharya, known for his candid takes and chartbuster tracks, recently shared behind-the-scenes trivia about the hit film Main Hoon Na. In a conversation with Mashable India, the veteran playback singer opened up about working with composer Anu Malik and revealed that he was originally supposed to sing Gori Gori, but the song ended up being voiced by Malik himself.
Speaking about Anu Malik's tendency to take over his own compositions, Abhijeet said, 'Jab bhi kabhi Anu Malik ka koi gaana hota hai na, to unka bas chale to picturise bhi khud pe kare. He is so crazy, wo bol sakta hai ki ye gaana bohot acha hai, main gaaunga, mere ooper ho picturise kar do. Matlab, itna crazy hai! Bol raha hoon isiliye kyunki ab to wo time gaya. I'm very selfish, ab to koi farak nahi padta. Abhi kisi ka bhi time nahi hai."

The singer didn't hold back and revealed that Gori Gori was initially his song. 'Uss picture me Gori Gori mera gaana tha. Can you believe that? (Mimicking Anu Malik) Chori chori…ab ye ho gaya. Maine kya gaaya tha – phadu! I think, maine aur KK ne. Baad me dekhta hoon ki bhaisaab unka (Anu Malik) voice aa gaya. Iss gaane (Tumhe Jo Maine Dekha) me bhi aisa hi kuchh hone wala tha," he added, hinting that Tumhe Jo Maine Dekha also nearly went the same way.
Abhijeet also believed Tumhe Jo Maine Dekha could've made an even bigger mark had he been given proper time to rehearse. 'Agar ye gaane ko pehle se mujhe rehearsal kara ke agar gaana pehle se bolte. Set pe bula ke gawaya achanak, dubbing karwaya. I'm capable, fatafat gaa diya. Lekin agar fatafat ki jagah tayyari karke aate, to ye gaana isse bhi bada historical hota," he said.
