The much-hyped up "Masakali 2.0" song was released on April 8, 2020, and has opened to mixed reviews. The number starring Sidharth Malhotra and Tara Sutaria, the song was originally supposed to make it to the Marjavaan movie's album, but ultimately released as a solo music video. However, the original "Masakali" makers, music composer A.R.Rahman, singer Mohit Chauhan, lyricist Prasoon Joshi and Delhi-6 director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra all are pretty upset about their masterpiece being ruined. Masakali 2.0 Song: AR Rahman Takes a Dig at Sidharth Malhotra, Tara Sutaria's Remix Track; Shares a Note Along With The Original Song!.

Masakali 2.0 has been composed by Tanishk Bagchi and sung by Tulsi Kumar and Sachet Tandon. However, the song has not been received well, with the audience feeling like another classic song has been re-created and has been ruined like a lot of others in recent times. And with the original creators themselves not being happy, we wonder if composers who are planning to remake more old classics will atleast stop now. We also wonder what do the makers of Masakali 2.0 have to say about the issue!
