Abhijeet Bhattacharya slams the Varun Dhawan version of ‘Chunnari Chunnari’; says he “cannot be Salman Khan”

Abhijeet Bhattacharya Slams Varun Dhawan's 'Chunnari Chunnari' Version

Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya has strongly reacted to the recreated version of the iconic track 'Chunnari Chunnari'. The song has been included in the album of the upcoming romantic comedy Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai.

Originally featured in David Dhawan's 1999 entertainer Biwi No. 1, the song starred Salman Khan and Sushmita Sen and went on to become one of the most popular dance tracks of its time. The recreated version now features Varun Dhawan alongside Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde.

Abhijeet Bhattacharya shared his opinion during a conversation with ANI and made it clear that he prefers the original version featuring Salman Khan. Speaking about the song's popularity and Salman's presence in it, the singer said that this song was one of the biggest songs of Salman Khan's career.

Abhijeet further took a dig at Varun Dhawan while comparing the two actors. He said that Varun Dhawan cannot be a Salman Khan with this song. There is a big difference between Salman Khan and Varun Dhawan.

The singer also expressed disappointment over the treatment of the recreated version. When he heard the song, he thought it was a bhajan. 'Chunnari Chunnari' was originally a romantic track, and they have now turned it into a bhajan.

He concluded by adding that if they had approached him for the remake, he would still rethink before doing it. His original version had a lot of acting. He is very happy that he didn't do the song because it would have been degraded.
