Ahead of the release of Sonakshi Sinha and Diljit Dosanjh-starrer Welcome To New York, Union Minister Babul Supriyo demanded that Pak singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's voice from the track Ishtehaar be replaced by an Indian singer. Supriyo said he was unable to comprehend the need to cross the border for entertainment content at a time when tension on the India-Pakistan border has escalated. He was also unhappy that Atif Aslam had been roped in to sing in Tiger Zinda Hai.

"I am also not sure why Atif Aslam got to sing Dil Diya Gallan when our very own Arijit [Singh] could have done a better job. The FM stations played the song galore while news channels announced the name of our soldiers martyred."
