Yaariyan 2 composer Manan Bhardwaj on recreating Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s Sason Ki Mala for the film featuring Divya Khosla Kumar

Manan Bhardwaj
In an era dominated by remixes of popular ’90s ditties, few would have imagined that Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s Sason Ki Mala would find a place in a commercial venture. For Yaariyan 2 composer Manan Bhardwaj, the track has been instrumental in his musical journey. “While practicing, I had created this [version] 13 years ago. A situation in the film demanded this track, so I shared it with the directors.
Only rarely do I recreate songs, but when I do, I only [do so] for songs with which I have lived. I should have played it for a while, and only then will I recreate it. This is because it is important for me to know the soul of a song so that I can retain it.”
