Reacting to the recreated version, Abhijeet criticised Varun for doing “second-hand” films. “The actor (Varun Dhawan) has only done second-hand films, especially when his father (David Dhawan) directed the original films. He also uses the same songs that were once a hit. Varun Dhawan iss gaane se Salman Khan nahi ban sakta,” he added.

Regarding the latest recreation of Chunnari Chunnari, Abhijeet quipped that the song now sounded more like a bhajan. He also revealed that the Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai makers never approached him before recreating his hit song. He mentioned that if they had, he might have reconsidered participating in the remake. Now, he’s glad he didn’t do the song because he feels it would have “degraded” its original essence.
