Salman Khan clarifies Sultan song 'Jag Ghoomeya' controversy

In a recent statement, Salman Khan addressed the long-standing controversy regarding the song 'Jag Ghoomeya' from his 2016 hit film Sultan. Singer Arijit Singh had previously posted a scathing social media rant, claiming his recorded version of the song was dropped from the movie. Khan clarified that the final selection of songs rests with the film's directors and producers. He mentioned that it is common for singers to be replaced and even shared that his own voice recording for a song was also rejected. The controversial track 'Jag Ghoomeya' was eventually included in the film's official soundtrack, sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. Salman Khan also commented on Singh's public statements, referring to them as 'smart comments and posts.' The film Sultan, starring Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma, was a major box office success, with its music, including 'Jag Ghoomeya,' becoming chartbusters. The song itself is noted for its traditional musical roots and soulful composition by Vishal-Shekhar, with lyrics by Irshad Kamil.
