Koena Mitra upset with the recreated version of O Saki Saki from Batla House

Nowadays mostly every film has a song that is a recreated version of an old track and John Abraham starrer Batla House won’t be an exception. Batla House will have the recreated version of the track O Saki Saki from the film Musafir. The original track was a rage when released and it was picturised on Koena Mitra who had performed amazingly in the song.

The makers of Batla House have released a teaser of the recreated version and it features none other than Nora Fatehi. However, looks like Koena is not happy with the recreated track. She tweeted, “My song from Musafir #Saaki  Saaki" has been recreated. Sunidhi, Suhwinder, Vishal, Shekhar combination was outstanding. Didn't like the new version, it's a mess! This song had crashed many blockbusters! Why batlahouse, why? P. S: Nora is a stunner. Hope she saves our pride.”


The recreated version is composed by Tanishk Bagchi and sung by Tulsi Kumar and Neha Kakkar. In the teaser, the music seems to be decent and of course, it is Nora Fatehi who makes us eager for the full track which will be released tomorrow.

This is not the first time when we will get to see Nora Fatehi dancing in a John Abraham film. Last year, John and Nora had collaborated for Satyameva Jayate in which the actress danced on the recreated version of Dilbar. The song was the biggest hit of 2018 and got millions of views on YouTube. Before Dilbar, Nora had danced on the recreated version of Rock Tha Party in John’s film Rocky Handsome. Though the film wasn’t a hit at the box office, the song was loved by everyone.

Directed by Nikkhil Advani, Batla House also stars Mrunal Thakur in the lead role and it will be hitting the screens on 15th August 2019. The movie will be clashing with Saaho and Mission Mangal. While the former stars Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor, the latter stars Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Sonakshi Sinha, Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari, Sharman Joshi and Nithya Menen.

Harvard to transfer historic images of enslaved people to African American museum

Harvard University has agreed to transfer a collection of historic daguerreotypes believed to be among the earliest photographs of enslaved people in the United States to the International African American Museum in South Carolina. The move follows a protracted legal dispute with Tamara Lanier, a Connecticut author who claims to be a descendant of two of the individuals pictured.

The images, taken in 1850, depict several enslaved individuals, including a man named Renty and his daughter Delia, who were forced to pose for the photographs by Swiss-born Harvard professor and zoologist Louis Agassiz. Agassiz commissioned the daguerreotypes as part of his now-discredited research to support polygenism — the belief that different races evolved separately and unequally.

Taylor Swift Reclaims Ownership of First Six Albums

Taylor Swift celebrates full control over the music that launched her career

Taylor Swift finally regains full ownership of her first six albums after years-long battle

After years of fighting for control over her early music, Taylor Swift has bought back the master recordings of her first six albums. The deal marks the end of a bitter chapter in her career and gives her full ownership of every song she’s released since her teenage debut.

It all started in 2019 when Swift’s old label, Big Machine, sold her original recordings to music executive Scooter Braun. At the time, Swift called it her “worst-case scenario,” saying she wasn’t even given the chance to buy them herself. Instead, she was offered a deal where she’d “earn” back one old album for every new one she made. She declined. Braun later sold the masters to Shamrock Capital for around £222 million (₹1,848 crore), and Swift decided to take matters into her own hands.
