Batla House’s special number O Saki Saki gathered mixed reviews, while some thought remake is entertaining and have praised Nora Fatehi’s killer dance moves, some have bashed the makers for ruining this classic number. Originally filmed on actress Koena Mitra in the movie Musafir, went all out in her tweet slamming the remake, but actor Sanjay Dutt who also featured in the movie has something far more contrary to say on being asked about his opinion on this remake.
Dutt was quizzed about his response during the trailer launch of his debut Marathi production venture titled Baba. He infact ended up praising the track and further added that remakes of the song indicate that the tracks are popular even now and it’s a good thing. He was quoted saying, "It's great. The song is being remade itself shows that the song is still very popular. So it's a really good thing." In the original number Dutt played a brutal killer, grooving with Koena, smoking cigar and showing off fascinating moves with silver butterfly Swiss Knife.
While original was crooned by Sukhwinder Singh, Sunidhi Chauhan and composed by Vishal-Shekhar. The revamped version is sung by Neha Kakkar, Tulsi Kumar & B Praak and Tanishk Bagchi has recreated the music.
The actor was accompanied by his wife Manyata during the trailer launch of his film Baba. The film revolves around deaf-mute parents of a boy, who are later dragged in a legal turmoil to win custody of their son.

Sunidhi, Suhwinder, Vishal, Shekhar combination was outstanding. Didn't like the new version, it's a mess! This song had crashed many blockbusters! Why batlahouse, why?
P. S: Nora is a stunner. Hope she saves our pride.
The actor has interesting line up of projects for the upcoming year such as Torbaaz, Prassthanam, Panipat, Sadak 2 and Bhuj: The Pride of India. Besides these projects he is eagerly waiting for Munna Bhai 3 to go on floors helmed by Rajkumar Hirani.
