What Ila said about Crew song
“People have liked Kareena dancing to the song, but how can I forget? You may call me old, but the original song is all heart. Here in this song, Kareena is having fun, but the original was a very well-choreographed song featuring Madhuri Dixit and Neena Gupta, that was brilliant and will remain that forever,” said Ila.
Reveals her first reaction
She also revealed that she didn't know about the song's recreation until 5 minutes before the track was launched officially. She said the music label Tips called her immediately before the song launch and sought her blessing. Ila said, "What else I could do, except give them my blessings? I was dumbfounded but couldn't ask them why have you done this?
Ila added that the new music composers should be making original songs instead of recreating the classics under the pretext of making it relevant for a new generation. She also claimed that if songs are being recreated, the original artistes should be kept in loop and should be duly compensated for the same.
