Whereas the ‘Pasoori’ singer Shae Gill also stated that she had no idea what’s going on as she wasn’t aware of any such happenings.
Have a look at user’s reactions:
‘Only Pakistanis should have the right to recreate Pasoori, if ever, and not Bollywood. If Pasoori is to be remade, it should be for a PAKISTANI FILM and not for a third-class Bollywood film! They disrespect our artists, and our country in their movies, and then shamelessly copy our songs,” read the tweet.

“It’s a year old only and they’re making a remake of it. Please Bollywood bring back your originality and leave Pasoori alone. Protect this song at all cost.
