There is a trend of recreating songs in Bollywood. Many artists and musicians have taken the charge of giving new versions of songs to the audience. While nothing matches the original compilation of songs, this era of recreation of iconic music has a charm of its own. This change has become pretty evident in the music industry as many singers are giving newer versions by recreating the evergreen originals. Singer Manmeet Singh Gupta has recently come up with a recreated version of ‘Surili Akhiyon Wale’ from the film ‘Veer’ (2010). This new song is recreated by Harpreet Singh, an Indian Music Award winner whose composition skills are at par with excellence.

Manmeet has been a huge fan of Salman Khan since childhood. Speaking about recreating ‘Surili Akhiyon Wale’, the singer said, “I have grown up watching Salman sir’s films. Besides his larger than life persona on the big screen, the music of his films has been chartbusters. The best part about the song I feel is the lyrics and enchanting tunes.”
