Rajkummar Rao Demands Removal Of Adnan Sami’s Song From ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’: Sources

Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video: Padma Shri Adnan Sami was set to make his comeback after 9 long years with a song in Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. However, in a shocking turn of events, a disagreement has erupted between legendary singer Adnan Sami and actor Rajkummar Rao over a song for the upcoming Bollywood movie. Despite Adnan Sami's mesmerizing vocals, Rajkummar Rao allegedly insisted on replacing him as the playback singer due to his personal concerns over not being able to match the powerful vocal expressions of Adnan’s voice with his lip-syncing, share a source close to the production.

The sources further share that Adnan Sami, whose last song Bhar do Jholi Meri from Bajrangi Bhaijaan was a big hit, was approached by T-Series Music label and music director duo Sachin-Jigar to lend his voice to a romantic track. Enchanted by the melody and his very close relationship with Bhushan Kumar and T-Series, Adnan Sami agreed and delivered a impressive performance.

However, Rajkummar Rao, who had already filmed the song's visuals and lip-synced to a previous version using a temporary voice, expressed his insecurities about matching his expressions to Adnan Sami's powerful vocals. Despite the team's assurance, Rao reportedly put his foot down, demanding a change in the playback singer. By then, it had already been announced that Adnan Sami had sung the song and was therefore covered by the media with great enthusiasm.

Amid this, Adnan Sami has also shared a tweet, which seems like a confirmation to the report. Quoting a story by Hindustan Times, which mentions about Adnan returning with a song in Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, Adnan wrote: "Just to factcheck this article, there’s no song of mine in the upcoming film ‘Vicky Vidya Ki Woh Wala Video’…"
