Did Rajkummar Rao ask Adnan Sami’s voice to be replaced in a song?

Mumbai, Sep 17 B-town is a fascinating place to be in. While the boulevards of glamour and box-office success often paint a hunky-dory picture, there are certain corners which are filled with conflicts, ego clashes or insecurities.

One such instance has come to light where actor Rajkummar Rao, who witnessed landslide success with his film ‘Stree 2’, has allegedly declined the voice of playback singer Adnan Sami for a song that is picturised on him.

The disagreement erupted between the singer and the actor with the actor allegedly insisting on replacing him as the playback singer over incongruence between vocal expressions of Adnan Sami and his lip-syncing.

As per a source close to the project, Adnan Sami was approached by T-Series Music label & music director duo Sachin-Jigar to lend his voice to a romantic song after a nine-year hiatus. However, Rajkumar Rao, who had already filmed the song's visuals and lip-synced to a previous version using the voice of a scratch singer, expressed his reservations.

Despite the team's assurance, the actor reportedly put his foot down, demanding a change in the playback singer.

This unexpected twist has left the music label & the directors of the song surprised. Insiders reveal that Adnan Sami's version was widely admired by all.

Rajkummar Rao is yet to comment on the issue, and present his side of the story.

The controversy raises questions about the artistic collaborations in Bollywood.

Earlier, Raj was also embroiled in the controversy over the credit war pertaining to ‘Stree 2’ which has emerged as a blockbuster bailing Bollywood out of troubled waters.

Meanwhile, Raj will be next seen in the upcoming movie ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’ opposite ‘Animal’ star Triptii Dimri.
