Rajkummar Rao in Controversy Over Adnan Sami’s Song Replacement

This is a shocker for the audience because it has been reported that Bollywood actor Rajkummar Rao refused playback singer Adnan Sami’s voice for a romantic track in his upcoming film.

This has generated much talk since Sami was to make a grand comeback to the industry after a nine-year gap, but Rao believed the singer’s voice didn’t gel with his lip syncing and refused the same.

The Controversy Unfolds

Things only turned worse when the music label of the film, T-Series, came to him for a romantic number composed by the ace duo Sachin-Jigar. Adnan agrees to the song as it appealed to him due to his melodic voice.

But having filmed the song’s visuals with a scratch singer’s version, he did not like Rao’s voice and said that it didn’t match up with what he was doing on the screen.

Much as the directors and the music team went public with their compliments, Rajkummar Rao did not budge, making a shocking demand to replace Sami with another playback singer of their choice. This move took everyone connected with the music label, directors, and Sami himself by complete surprise since everyone loved seeing Sami return.

Effect on the Film

The decision to replace his vocals has destroyed all planulations and as per insiders are of the opinion that many were impressed with Sami’s version and it was surprise to the decision taken by Rao.
