He said if they hadn’t, you should sue them. He said, ‘Bhai, Salman bol raha hoon, from Dubai.’ He asked whether they had taken my permission. He said, ‘Tera gaana jo hai, woh usne, Karan ne, banaya hai (Your song has been recreated by Karan Johar).’ You won’t believe who told me about this remake.
I heard the remake from Student Of The Year, but I never saw the film.
When asked about the usage of their songs and how they have been remixed in “Indian pop culture and in one film” and what he thought of those mixes, made then and now, Hassan stated, “To be honest, I haven’t listened to most of them. Though the interview is packed with stories, one of them is how it was Salman Khan who told Zoheb Hassan about Karan Johar’s recreation of Nazia Hassan’s ‘Disco Deewane’ for his film Student of the Year. Singer Zoheb Hassan has opened up about his late sister Nazia Hasan on what would have been her 53rd birthday. Zoheb revealed how Nazia was a “private person” which didn’t change throughout the course of her public life, how she recorded ‘Aap Jaisa Koi’ in one take with some mending done to the track in a second take and how Feroz Khan was not keen to listen to the brother-sister duo and it was Zeenat Aman who convinced him to listen to Nazia’s voice at least once. It was also released in the United Kingdom in 1987. It was produced by the Indian producer Biddu.Along with several other albums from Biddu and the Hassan duo, its success in India contributed to the creation of the Indi-pop market.
In a recent interview with Cinestaan, Nazia Hassan’s brother, Zoheb Hassan, who was her confidante as well as longtime music collaborator, spoke about the late singer and the many personal and professional stories that they shared. Hotline was the fourth studio album from the Pakistani pop duo of Nazia and Zoheb (Nazia Hassan and Zohaib Hassan), released in 1987.
On Nazia Hassan’s 53 birth anniversary on April 03, Google honoured the iconic singer with a doodle on their homepage, reminding us of her incredible, pioneering contributions to music, her charitable ways and a lasting influence on pop music history.
