Anu Malik Clears the Air: Immense Pride for 'Ghar Kab Aaoge' in Border 2, Credits Bhushan Kumar

Veteran composer Anu Malik is, quite frankly, brimming with pride over the upcoming song 'Ghar Kab Aaoge' from the much-anticipated film Border 2. It’s a tune, he says, that carries immense emotional weight, especially considering its powerful predecessor from the original 1997 blockbuster. After a bit of a buzz and, perhaps, some slight confusion, Malik has now happily clarified his connection to the project, emphasizing his satisfaction with the recognition he’s received.

“I am incredibly proud of the song 'Ghar Kab Aaoge',” Malik stated, making his sentiments crystal clear. For anyone who remembers the original 'Border' – and who doesn't, really? – it was Anu Malik who crafted the unforgettable melody of 'Sandese Aate Hain.' That song, penned so beautifully by Javed Akhtar, became an anthem, a poignant cry from the heart of soldiers missing home. Its emotional resonance was truly unparalleled, etching itself into the collective memory of a nation.

And here's the reassuring bit: the confusion that might have been swirling around has been well and truly put to rest. Malik confirmed that Bhushan Kumar himself, the head honcho at T-Series, has personally ensured that he receives all due credit for this significant track in Border 2. “Bhushan Kumar has credited me, which is great,” Malik shared, his voice betraying a sense of contentment and relief. It's always good when things are transparent, isn't it?

While 'Sandese Aate Hain' was an original composition, 'Ghar Kab Aaoge' seems to draw a spiritual, if not direct, lineage from it, maintaining that core emotional thread of longing and homecoming. The original film, directed by JP Dutta, was a monumental success, and its music, particularly that iconic song, resonated deeply with an entire generation, becoming synonymous with national pride and the longing for loved ones. It's a tremendous feeling, he confesses, to see that legacy continue.

It's important to note, though, that Anu Malik isn't taking on the entire music composition for Border 2. His involvement, for now, is specifically centered around 'Ghar Kab Aaoge,' a choice that undoubtedly pleases fans who adore his classic works. Interestingly, his nephew, Amaal Mallik, is also involved with the music for Border 2, bringing a generational touch to the soundtrack. It's a family affair, in a way, upholding a tradition of musical excellence.

Ultimately, Malik is just genuinely happy about how things have unfolded. To be recognized for a song that carries such immense emotional weight, especially for a sequel to such an iconic film, is a truly special moment for any artist. It's about respecting the past while paving the way for new interpretations, and Anu Malik's pride is certainly palpable as 'Ghar Kab Aaoge' prepares to touch hearts once again.
