New version of Ek Do Teen song to face trouble?

Mumbai, Mar 22: The Bollywood trending song Ek Do Teen redux, featuring Jacqueline Fernandez in Madhuri Dixit's place, has not impressed Tezaab director N Chandra, who originally directed the iconic song. He's upset with the makers of Baaghi 2, for which the song has been resurrected and he has decided to take action against the filmmakers, reports media.

Mr Chandra was informed about the new version by Saroj Khan, who choreographed Madhuri Dixit in the 1988 film, at late actress Sridevi's funeral. "She (Saroj Khan) came to me and said, 'Have you seen what they're doing to our Ek Do Teen number?' I had no clue. Saroj ji told me that the makers of Baaghi 2 were doing a new version of Ek Do Teen. She said she will take legal action against it," media reported N Chandra as saying.



Ek Do Teen 2.0 released on Monday and the Internet was also not really happy about the new version. Speaking to the news agency, Mr Chandra said: "I can't believe they've done this to Ek Do Teen. It's crass beyond imagination. And Jacqueline Fernandez doing Madhuri Dixit's number? Give me a break! It's like turning the Central Park into a botanical garden."

Meanwhile, Saroj Khan refused to comment on the song and the controversy surrounding it, reports media.



Jacqueline's version of Ek Do Teen has been choreographed by Ganesh Acharya, who was one of the background dancers in the original song. "We have incorporated Madhuri's signature step into our version but the rest of the steps are by Ganesh," Ahmed Khan said, adding that Ek Do Teen redux is "homage to the original."

Baaghi 2 features Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani in lead roles and the film is expected to hit the screens on March 30.
