Kumar Taurani reveals Shobha Kapoor made an EXTRA Rs. 25 crores due to ‘Choli Ke Peeche’ in Crew; makes a BOLD statement: “EVERY film should have recreated songs”

Ramesh Taurani and Kumar Taurani spoke to Komal Nahta about remixes and recreated versions of old songs. While many believe that recreations are a worrying trend and that music composers should focus only on original compositions, Kumar Taurani had a different take. He said, “More recreations should be made. Every film should have recreated songs. Certain classic songs have a long legacy, have been promoted extensively and enjoy strong recall value. When these songs are presented in a new avatar, they tend to work big time. This happened with the recreated versions of ‘Chunari Chunari’ (Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai; 2026) and ‘Chamma Chamma’ (Fraud Saiyaan; 2019). Recently, ‘Aankhon Se Tune 2.0’ (Bhai Tera Star Hai; 2026) also worked. Usually, songs would get around 20,000 streams. But after being recreated, their streams suddenly jumped into the millions! This benefits the original versions as well.” Ramesh Taurani added, “There was a film called Crew (2024). Two of its songs became ...

Ramesh Taurani hails Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, takes a DIG at actors scared of flops: “Bhale 10 hit chhoot jaaye lekin 1 flop nahin chahiye!”; reveals, “I always tell Aamir Khan, ‘Aap zyaada picturein karo’”

Ramesh Taurani and Kumar Taurani spoke to Komal Nahta and urged actors to sign more films. Ramesh Taurani said, “In the olden days, we used to promote our films extensively, put up hoardings, publish posters in film magazines, play the songs on TV and radio, etc. Hence, actors used to get excited when signing a film produced by a music company. We used to just share one-line idea of the story and at times, actors agreed to do the film over a phone call and without even physically meeting us. Woh bharosa tha aur luckily, woh bharosa rang laaya kyunki hamari sab picturein chali.” Kumar Taurani then said, “Now, actors are very panicky, fearing that their film might flop. Actors should continue working, even if they deliver a couple of flops. They should not fear and should do at least 2-3 movies a year. At the same time, they should also be economical with the producers. From what I know, the actors and director of Dhurandhar opted for profit sharing; their upfront fees were not much.” R...
