Adnan Siddiqui shared his views on Aap Jaisa Koi's recreational music video starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Malaika Arora for An Action Hero.
Recreating an iconic classical song is like holding a double-edged sword. People usually end up criticising the rendition. Ayushmann Khurrana's upcoming actioner, An Action Hero launched the recreation of the iconic song Aap Jaisa Koi, and it garnered mixed reception. The fans of the original iconic song felt the new version was an insult, and they panned it on social media. The OG song was sung was Pakistani pop sensation Nazia Hassan for Feroz Khan's ATBB Qurbani (1980).
Amid the backlash for the recreation, Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui also shared his discontent about the song, and heavily criticised it. Adnan took his thoughts to Twitter and wrote, "Is there something in the air that the world has suddenly developed a penchant for ruining perfect classics? Even re-creation requires talent. Nazia Hassan must be turning in her grave. #AapJaisaKoi nahi..."
