Fanney Khan Song ‘Achche Din’ Might Be Cut Off From the Film and the Reason Is Predictable!
Fanney Khan revolves around a father who wants his daughter to be a singing sensation just like pop singer Baby Singh.
Fanney Khan makers are in no mood to get into any controversial matter ahead of the film's release. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Rajkummar Rao and Anil Kapoor are getting appreciated in the trailer and the songs of the film. Everything was going smooth until the song "mere achche din kab ayenge" released. The makers used the phrase that the government often uses in the campaigns. This gave it a political flavour and the netizens brought in the political discussion with the help of this line. To avoid further controversy, the makers changed the lyrics from "mere achche din kab ayenge" to "mere achche din hai aye re." In fact, the song might be even cut off from the film!
Spotboye.com quoted a source saying, "After the first version came out, a lot of people online used it to attack the Central Government and question Modi on his promise of achche din. The song was getting politicised needlessly. The producers also got a few calls from high places, after which they decided to release the new version. They are even contemplating pulling down the original song."
Meanwhile, the makers have just altered the old video by adding the new lyrics to it. Talking about it, director Atul Manjrekar told the tabloid, "But, we cut a new video and released it now because our song was unnecessarily taking a political colour. It didn't strike us that this is also the slogan of the government. We didn't expect such a reaction. Fanney Khan is a simple film about a cab driver and his dreams. I hope people see the song in the right context and not misconstrue it."
