He said, "When I was making Aashiqui 2, I recorded the songs in KK's voice, and I had done many songs with him, like Kya Mujhe Pyaar Hai and all. But after I recorded that voice, I realised that voice was right for Emraan (Hashmi), a generation earlier. But Aditya Roy Kapur was coming in, and I wanted to find a new guy." The filmmaker mentioned that he auditioned numerous fresh talents and ultimately found Arijit Singh's voice. He added, "I went insane looking for someone called Arijit.

Now that the trio is reunited, director Priyadarshan has broken his silence on the matter. Speaking to Hindustan Times, he said, 'I am living in south India. Whenever a film is signed, I will go to shoot it. I am only committed to Akshay Kumar to do this film (as a maker), I don't know anybody else.'

I don't think anybody else is involved in it.' While the director refrained from naming names, his statement seemed to indirectly address recent claims by producer Firoz Nadiadwala, who had credited his brother Sajid Nadiadwala for brokering peace between the actors. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Joacă în sfârșit cel mai bun joc de strategie 2025 gratuit!
