Taking to Twitter, Akshay wrote, “I would’ve definitely been disappointed if any other actor would’ve recreated Tip Tip Barsa Paani,a song which has been synonymous with me & my career & I can’t thank Ratan Jain ji enough. At times like these you realize,we may have come a long way but we also go back a long way.”
Ratan Jain, the head honcho of Venus that owns the rights of the original number, parted with the song owing to his 30-year-long association with the actor. Tip Tip Barsa Paani, an iconic Hindi song from Mohra was picturised on Akshay and Raveena Tandon.
Speaking of parting the rights to the makers, Ratan Jain told Mid-day, “The primary reason I parted with the rights is because Akshay is doing the song again. I have the highest regard for him as an actor and a person. I would not have given the song to any other producer. Having said that, it's not a complete transfer of rights. I have parted with the song for a particular period, after which the rights will be reinstated with us."
Sooryavanshi, which is scheduled to hit the screens on March 27, 2020, also stars Gulshan Grover in a pivotal role.
