Anu Malik expects due credits for Sandese Aate Hai remake in Border 2: 'They will have to put our name'

Anu Malik

Earlier this week, the producers of Border 2 released a preview for Ghar Kab Aaoge, a redux of the classic song Sandese Aate Hain from Border. Mithoon remade the song and added words from Manoj Muntashir. Javed Akhtar wrote the original song, while Anu Malik scored it. According to the composer, he hopes his name will appear in the credits for the new version as well.

Anu Malik expects due credit

While talking to PTI, Anu Malik opened up about Ghar Ka Aaoge, he said, "I believe the song is recreated. I'm not a part of it. I'm sure they will give my name to it as I've created the song. They should because people know about our contribution, they can't get away. They can't make Border 2 without Sandese Aate Hai... Both Anu Malik and Javed Akhtar are up there (in their contribution), so they will have to put our name somewhere."

With Sonu Nigam returning and Arijit Singh joining the mix, the composer has great expectations for the reproduction. Sonu is an amazing singer, therefore I think it will be fantastic. He is among the greatest vocalists of our time, and Arijit is a gifted vocalist. The song will be by Anu Malik, but the combination of Arijit and Sonu will be wonderful. He remarked, "You can't get away from Anu Malik and Javed Sahab; the song he wrote is so great." Vishal Mishra and Diljit Dosanjh both contribute their voices to the song.

The original song was sung by?

Sonu and Roopkumar Rathod sang Sandese Aate Hai, which became famous for its music, lyrics, and visuals. Talking about the song, Anu Malik said, "When I was offered a chance to do this, I gave it all that I had for my love for my country. I believe that there is no country better than India, and I'm not saying it because I am an Indian; I'm not saying other countries are bad."

Sunny Deol, Jackie Shroff, Suniel Shetty, and Akshaye Khanna led the film Border, which was directed by JP Dutta. Sunny, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty are among the ensemble cast members of Anurag Singh's latest film. On January 23, 2026, Border 2, which is produced by T-Series and JP Dutta's J P Films, will be released in theaters.
