Whose song is it anyway? Days after filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma dropped a revelation that the Oscar winning track “Jai Ho” was composed by Sukhwinder Singh and not AR Rahman, the singer has rubbished the claims, saying that the global chartbuster was entirely the Academy Award winner’s brainchild.
“Jai Ho” from Danny Boyle’s 2008 drama Slumdog Millionaire became a global sensation after it bagged the Best Original song honour at the Academy Award. The Gulzar-penned track was sung by Sukhwinder. While it was already known that “Jai Ho” was originally composed for filmmaker Subash Ghai’s Salman Khan-Katrina Kaif led drama Yuvvraaj, RGV, in an interview with Film Companion, said that it was Sukhwinder who came up with the music of the track.
The singer recalled how Gulzar had written the song, which Rahman liked and then composed it in Sukhwinder’s studio in Juhu, Mumbai. Rahman also made Subhash Ghai listen to it, but until then Sukhwinder’s vocals had not been recorded.
