In a surprising turn of events, Bollywood sensation Arijit Singh has officially taken up the challenge of remaking the popular Coke Studio hit Pasoori. Fans of the song were initially ecstatic when Singh covered the soulful track at a concert in Dubai, but little did they know that it would eventually find its way into a film produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, starring Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani.
The announcement, made by Kartik Aaryan and T-Series on their social media, has sparked a wave of mixed reactions among fans, with some eagerly anticipating the release while others expressing extreme disappointment about the song’s remake. The actor confirmed that the upcoming film, Satyaprem Ki Katha, would feature a remake of Pasoori, and also shared a teaser of the song, titled Pasoori Nu.
The brief teaser showcased the on-screen chemistry between Kartik and Kiari in matching outfits. The release of the song is scheduled for Monday morning, just days before the film’s release.
Relive the global hit! ✨ पसूरी नु…

Ali sethi is so shameless selling the rights for pasoori like that to India. Mf could’ve just negotiated that they use the original but nope indian bootlicking and shamelessness runs in the family

people outraging in quotes about the pasoori remake don’t realize that their outrage and attention are exactly what the makers desperately wanted. their aim was to generate basic awareness for the film’s release and they are succeeding in it.
