Mamta Kulkarni reacts to Mahira Sharma’s recent release ‘Ranaji 2.0’. Along with this, he also narrated an interesting anecdote related to the original song.
Mamta Kulkarni on Ranaji 2.0: The famous song ‘Mujhko Ranaji Maaf Karna’ from Rakesh Roshan’s superhit film ‘Karan Arjun’ is still very popular among the audience. Now this song has been presented in a new style as ‘Ranaji 2.0’. Mahira Sharma is seen in this new version, while it is choreographed by Remo D’Souza. Original song star Mamta Kulkarni has reacted to the new version of the song.
What did Mamta Kulkarni say on ‘Ranaji 2.0’?
While talking to ‘Variety India’, Mamta Kulkarni said that Mahira Sharma has done a good job in the new song. However, he also admitted that the style of both the songs is completely different. According to Mamta, the original song had a glimpse of Indian culture, which featured Ghagra-choli and traditional dance style. At the same time, the new version has been designed with western look and western dance style. Therefore it is not easy to compare the two. Mamta said, ‘Mujhko Ranaji Maaf Karna’ of Karan-Arjun film has been in the hearts and memories of people for many years, so it is not easy to forget it.
Story of rehearsal of ‘Mujhko Ranaji Maaf Karna’
Mamta Kulkarni also shared her experience of shooting and rehearsing the original song. He told that the choreographer of this song was Chinni Prakash. Initially a rehearsal of two to three days was scheduled, but he learned all the steps on the very first day. However, when she reached the set for the shoot, the dance steps were changed. Mamta told that she had also questioned Chinni Prakash about this. Despite this, the entire team together completed the shooting of the song on time.
Who was given the credit for the success of the songs of ‘Karan Arjun’?
Mamta Kulkarni credited director Rakesh Roshan for the musical success of the film ‘Karan Arjun’. He said that shooting songs like ‘Jai Maa Kali’ was quite challenging as a large number of dancers were involved. It was not easy to successfully complete the shooting of songs and films on such a large scale. According to Mamta, due to Rakesh Roshan’s hard work and direction, all the songs of the film – ‘Jai Maa Kali’, ‘Bhangra Pa Le’, ‘Ek Munda Meri Agem Da’ and ‘Mujhko Ranaji Maaf Karna’ proved to be superhits among the audience.
Now she will also pay attention to the lyrics of the songs
Mamta Kulkarni said that today her thinking has changed a lot. She told that now she is moving towards spiritual life and that is why before choosing any project, she will pay special attention to its subject and lyrics. He said that today he might not sing songs with lyrics like ‘Mujhko Ranaji Maaf Karna’. Earlier, her entire focus was on dance and performance, but now she also looks at whether the message and lyrics of the song are in line with her ideas or not. She also admitted that in the initial phase of her career, she was young and at that time her focus was only on dancing better. Now with experience and spiritual thinking his priorities have changed.
What did Mamta Kulkarni say on her return to Bollywood?
