Ever since the release of their first song Beyonce Sharma Jayegi, the makers of Khaali Peeli have been facing harsh criticism for the same. Many are claiming the song to be racist because of its lyrics. Some even took to Twitter to call out the song and apologize to Beyonce for it. Earlier, the director Maqbool Khan had come out and said that using words like goriye didn’t have any racist intentions. The makers decided to change the lyrics and reupload the whole song.
After much noise about the song being objected and a few netizens having divided opinions, makers of Khaali Peeli decided to rejig the song which has clocked millions of views already. With divided opinion-makers thought, it is best to change the song.
Director Maqbool Khan said:
We have made the film to entertain audiences and not to offend or hurt anyone. Since our lyrical arrangement did not go well with few people, we thought why not keeping the essence the same and change the song a little bit.
Makers have uploaded the new song ‘Duniya Sharma Jayegi‘. The beat and musical arrangement of the song is principally the same. Producers plan to drop another song in a few days which has sizzling chemistry between Ishaan Khatter & Ananya Panday.
Khaali Peeli is going to be the first-ever Bollywood film to have a simultaneous multi-format release on 2nd October 2020 on a new service called Zee Plex. With the new offering, the viewers will be able to watch the film in the comfort of their homes.
