Saapna Mukerji Discusses the New Version of Oye Oye

In her exclusive interview, Saapna expressed that her initial response to the new rendition of Oye Oye in Dhurandhar 2 was not one of shock but rather a 'quiet smile.' She believes that certain songs are like blessings that resurface when the time is right, and Oye Oye has always carried that special energy. She remarked, 'The fact that my voice is featured in the film and that it is trending today reflects the vision behind it. After over 400 songs, moments like these remind us that music never truly fades; it simply finds new audiences. In Dhurandhar 2, the song is played twice, including in the end credits, with my voice alongside Amit Kumar’s, making the melody timeless once more.' This, she noted, is a testament to the film's impact.

Saapna praised Dhurandhar 2 as an 'incredible film' and expressed her gratitude towards director Aditya Dhar. She emphasized, 'I am genuinely thankful to Aditya Dhar. Nowadays, many artists use songs without giving credit, but he has acknowledged the original creators, which is immensely respectful.'
