Post-'Hangover' controversy, will Sonu Nigam-Salman ever re-collaborate? Singer reveals
Famed playback singer Sonu Nigam recently expressed his desire to work again with Bollywood actor Salman Khan. This revelation came during an interview with Times Now, years after Nigam was replaced by Khan for the song Hangover in Khan's movie Kick. Responding positively to a question about future collaborations, Nigam stated, "Whenever! If it happens as I said I only see good in people, so goodness will take precedence."
What is the 'Hangover' song controversy?
The controversy surrounding the song dates back to 2014 when Nigam was replaced by Khan without prior notification. In an interview with Mirror, Nigam confirmed that he had recorded the song but later discovered his replacement through a newspaper report. He also claimed that he wasn't compensated for the recording. Music composer Manmeet Singh of Meet Bros fame revealed that they were searching for a singer until Salman "insisted" on performing the song himself.
