The makers of Student Of the Year 2 recently dropped its first song titled The Jawaani Song, a remake of Randhir Kapoor's and Jaya Bachchan's hit 1972 song Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani. The revamped version features newbies Ananya Panday, Tara Sutaria along with the new age dance and action hero Tiger Shroff. Soon after the song was stopped, the internet could not help but compare it to the original. Now, veteran actor, Randhir Kapoor who featured in the original has spoken about the same. 

Talking to a leading daily, the senior actor said, "I feel there is no harm in recreating songs. The original track came out four decades ago. Many youngsters were not aware of the song, but today, everyone knows it because of the remix. [After the redux version released], they all went back and searched for the original song on the Internet. I haven't seen the song, but I have heard it; it has a nice tune. Also, Karan has officially bought the rights of the number. So, his intentions are honest."

The actor also shared that it is actually not a bad idea to remake iconic songs from the past. "It's good to make yesteryear songs more accessible to our youth. I see many youngsters dancing to these remixes, which means they like them. I don't have any issues with remakes.", he said.
