The week passed by saw unleashing of the anthem number in Rowdy Rathore that goes as 'Chinta Ta Chita Chita'. While the hook-line has caught instant attention amongst the masses, what also raised eyebrows amongst film aficionados was the truth that it's greater than just very similar to 'Zinta Ta Zita Zita'. It isn't only a coincidence that the song belongs to the film Vikramarkudu of which Rowdy Rathore is a remake.
"It is plain that it is not just the film but even the theme song that have been remade here. In Vikramarkudu, the song appears at various junctures within the film and it's not just Ravi Teja, the film's lead, on whom the song appears but even Anushka Shetty who performed on it towards the pre-climax. Now it is the turn of Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha to bring this on", informs a movie buff.
However, before one is quick to leap on conclusion and accuse Sajid-Wajid, composer duo of Rowdy Rathore to have lifted this one, this is the reality. In actual fact that they've actually procured rights of the song and feature re-composed and re-arranged major a part of it.
"The song in question is 'College Papala' [Zinta Ta] which was an original composition of MM Kreem. It was a rage down South when it was released", informs our source from the Telugu film industry, "The song is solely irreplaceable since it is a a part of the screenplay. It's not just an item number but even fills in for dialogues at selection of points within the film. You could possibly realize its importance while you watch Rowdy Rathore. Hence, when the film was planned, it was by default that the song made its way into the remake besides".
Not to fall prey to any charges of 'lifting' the song, Sajid-Wajid were quick to shop for although it's just the hook-line of 'Zinta Ta' which was directly converted to 'Chinta Ta'.
"Yes, now we have brought our own style to the composition or even though it's just the hook that is same, rest is our own. Still, we do not want any last minute trouble and hence bought the rights of 'Zinta Ta'", informs Wajid, "In any case, it's our pleasure that lets amalgamate our work into MM Kreem saab's composition. He's one among our favorite composers and to get this chance and collaborate together with his work is an honour in itself."
This is incidentally the second one instance lately when South inspiration was evidenced in a Hindi song. Only a few days back even Ram Gopal Varma had procured rights for the hook-line of 'Dan Dan Dan' (Department) from a Rajinikanth chartbuster.
