Even as music aficionados celebrate them, National Award winner Amit Trivedi is a staunch opponent of the trend of recreating old songs. The composer opines that doing so distorts the essence of the original track. "I hate the [trend of] remaking old songs. I wish it ends soon. We are into the business of [creating] original music," he said in an interview, even expressing anger towards singers who encourage the trend.
"If a particular singer is following this trend, then I think he is not man enough. As a musician, you should be creative and by remaking old songs, you are just playing safe. This is not creativity." According to the music director, rehashing songs is a safe way to reach out to the audience.
