After releasing the song ‘Acche Din Kab Ayenge‘ a few days back, the makers of Anil Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rajkummar Rao starrer ‘Fanney Khan’ have come up with another interesting version of the same song.

Amusingly, the new version of the song is titled ‘Acche Din Ab Aaye Re’ and looks like it is the answer to the questions raised in the original version. Reportedly, the makers of ‘Fanney Khan’ decided to come up with the new version after social media users started using the original song to target the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, since he has used the slogan ‘Ache Din’ during his election campaign.

A source close to the development was quoted saying in Mid-Day as, “After the first version came out, a lot of people online used it to attack the Central Government and question Modi on his promise of achche din. The song was getting politicised needlessly. The producers also got a few calls from high places, after which they decided to release the new version. They are even contemplating pulling down the original song.”

Film’s director, Atul Manjrekar, however, said that ‘Acche Din Ab Aaye Re’ was always a part of his film. But his team decided to release the new version now because he didn’t want people to look at his film or song in the wrong context. The director told the tabloid, “We cut a new video and released it now because our song was unnecessarily taking a political colour. It didn’t strike us that this is also the slogan of the government. We didn’t expect such a reaction. ‘Fanney Khan’ is a simple film about a cab driver and his dreams. I hope people see the song in the right context and not misconstrue it.”

Well, we just hope that the makers retain both the songs in their film, which is all set to hit the silver screens on August 3, 2018. Meanwhile you can check the new song ‘Acche Din Ab Aaye Re’ here:
