Koena Mitra, who featured in the original 2004 hit song Saaki Saaki slammed the remixed version of the song, which will appear in John Abraham's upcoming film Batla House. The new version is picturized on dancer turned actress Nora Fatehi who had earlier impressed with her moves in the remake of Dilbar, last year.
Taking to Twitter on Sunday, upon viewing a teaser for the new song, Koena wrote, “My song from Musafir #Saaki Saaki has been recreated. Sunidhi, Suhwinder, Vishal, Shekhar combination was outstanding. Didn’t like the new version, it’s a mess! This song had crashed many blockbusters! Why Batla House, why?”

Sunidhi, Suhwinder, Vishal, Shekhar combination was outstanding. Didn't like the new version, it's a mess! This song had crashed many blockbusters! Why batlahouse, why?
P. S: Nora is a stunner. Hope she saves our pride.— Koena Mitra (@koenamitra) July 13, 2019
To this, actress Sophie Choudry tweeted, "You were outstanding in that song Koena!! Nora is lovely but wish every single song wasn’t being remade.. especially when the original still sounds so amazing and fresh!! Sunidhi and Sukhiji killed it!". Replying to Sophie, Koena tweeted, "Thanks Sophie. I agree, Iconic songs shouldn't be remade. Sunidhi and sukhiji shouldn't have been replaced... Simple."
