Baaghi 2 is making news for the worst reason- the totally avoidable remake of classic song Ek Do Teen. Jacqueline Fernandez's this remake has not gone down well with the fans as well as the makers of the original song starring Madhuri Dixit. The Dhak Dhak girl won the hearts with her innocence and expressions in Tezaab's iconic number and no one can replace that feeling. However, after the makers of Baaghi 2 confidently took it upon themselves to produce the remake of the song, director N Chandra and choreographer Saroj Khan are furious with the output.. They are reportedly taking a legal action against it.

Quint quoted Chandra saying, "I met Sarojji at Sridevi’s prayer meeting. It was there that Sarojji marched up to me to tell me about it. Can you imagine how much it had upset her that she needed to vent at such a solemn occasion? Anyway she came to me and said, ‘Have you seen what they’re doing to our Ek do teen number?’ I had no clue. Sarojji told me that the makers of Baaghi 2 were doing a new version of Ek do teen. She said she will take legal action against it.”

Giving his reaction to Jacqueline's version of Ek Do Teen, he said, "I can’t believe they’ve done this to Ek do teen. It’s crass beyond imagination. And Jacqueline Fernandez doing Madhuri Dixit’s number? Give me a break! It’s like turning the Central Park into a botanical garden. Madhuri danced with such grace and innocence. This number is like a sex act."

Adding more about the action that he plans to take against the song, he said, "Sarojji and I are definitely taking action. Amitji has rightly spoken about archaic copyright laws which allow such liberties to be taken. Can you imagine, Mr Bachchan would have no rights over his father’s writings! What kind of laws allow people to do such things? We must be allowed to exercise some control over what we create.”

Well, we don't know whether there will be any action taken against the filmmakers anytime soon. However, one thing that we are sure of is that the fans are pretty disappointed with the new Ek Do Teen and we don't blame them!
