Malaika Arora and Ayushman Khurana’s roles in the Bollywood version of Nazia Hassan’s timeless song “Aap Jaisa Koi” are drawing criticism online.
Actor Adnan Siddique criticized Bollywood, the Indian film industry, for remixing a classic song by the late Pakistani pop singer Nazia Hassan. After a single from Ayushmann Khurrana’s upcoming movie, An Action Hero, using Hassan’s Aap Jaisa Koi, was made available on YouTube, the “Meray Paas Tum Ho” star responded.
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..

Following the release of the teaser for the upcoming film “Action Hero,” which is an adaptation of Aap Jaisa Koi, internet users have expressed their disgust. Both sides of the border have expressed their disapproval of the song. The song was first performed by Nazia Hassan in the 1980s for the film “Qurbani” with Zeenat Aman.
Netizens began sharing clips of the song’s original version as soon as it was released. Another masterpiece is being imitated by Bollywood, but this will never be matched, a Twitter user wrote.
Another Twitter user demanded that those responsible for the song’s remix be “jailed.” “@tanishkbagchi and Bhushan Kumar ought to spend the rest of their lives in prison for trashing all the classic love songs. “#AapJaisaKoi,” the Indian user of Twitter remarked.
@tanishkbagchi and Bhushan Kumar should be jailed for life got destroying all the old nostalgic song. #AapJaisaKoi https://t.co/9UdX7MVUS3
