Maithili Thakur’s Trolling After Release of ‘Kisi Roz’ from ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’

Ajay Devgn and Tabu starrer ‘Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha’ releases its third track ‘Kisi Roz’, leading to mixed reactions for singer Maithili Thakur.

Neeraj Pandey’s upcoming romantic-thriller film Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha has been making headlines lately, particularly with the release of its latest song, ‘Kisi Roz’. This track, featuring the vocal talents of acclaimed Indian classical singer Maithili Thakur, comes after the successful reception of earlier releases ‘Tuu’ and ‘Ae Dil Zara.’ However, the release of ‘Kisi Roz’ has sparked controversy, resulting in significant trolling directed at Thakur.

The trolling stems from an earlier statement made by Maithili Thakur in 2020 following the tragic demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. After this event, Thakur declared on her brother Rishabh Thakur’s YouTube channel that she would no longer sing for Bollywood films, choosing instead to focus on traditional folk music in various languages. However, her recent involvement with the Bollywood film Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha has led to backlash from some fans who feel she has gone back on her word.

Comments flooded Thakur’s Instagram post promoting ‘Kisi Roz’, with users criticizing her for not adhering to her previous vow. One user commented, “Bahan aap to Bollywood k liye nahi gaane wali thi,” while another added, “Aap ne kaha tha ab Bollywood mein nahi gaoagi, phir interview mein vo sab kehne ki kya zaroorat thi?” Some users even questioned her commitment to her earlier stance, asking, “Aisa waada kyun karna jise nibha na pao?”

On the flip side, many supporters defended Thakur and praised her for her vocal performance. Comments like “My respect has increased for Maithili didi… there is a classic in Bollywood too” showcased the appreciation for her talent despite the trolling. Others remarked, “Troll karne se pehle ye dekh lo iss tarah ke lyrics har koi nahi gaa sakta,” highlighting her unique singing ability.

In addition to the online reactions, there have been developments regarding the film’s release date. Originally scheduled for July 5, 2024, the release of Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha has been postponed due to the competition posed by the successful film Kalki 2898 AD. Media reports suggest that the film will now likely premiere in the second week of July, with attention also focused on August 2.

Following its success in various Indian languages with Kamal Haasan, Venkatesh, and Ajay Devgn leading the casts, “Drishyam” is now poised for an English remake.

Having seen numerous adaptations across Indian languages and even a Chinese version, Jeetu Joseph’s “Drishyam” is set to make its mark in Hollywood. The 2013 Malayalam original, featuring Mohanlal, Meena, Ansiba Hassan, and Esther Anil, is primed for an English-language remake.

The Remake: “The iconic #Drishyam franchise is gearing up for global domination following its immense popularity in India and China. Producers Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak announced the Korean remake of this thrilling franchise at the Cannes Film Festival 2023. Now, they unveil the next milestone for the franchise,” wrote trade analyst Ramesh Bala on X, adding, “Panorama Studios, along with Gulfstream Pictures and JOAT Films, are collaborating to bring ‘Drishyam’ to Hollywood, marking a historic moment for Indian cinema!

Sreedhar Pillai also shared on X that the international remake rights have been secured from the original producers, stating, “Panorama Studios has acquired the international remake rights to ‘Drishyam 1 & 2′ from the original producers, Aashirvad Cinemas.”

The Drishyam Franchise: Since its debut in 2013, the Malayalam blockbuster has inspired filmmakers across borders, leading to multiple remakes. In 2014, it was adapted in Kannada as “Drishya” and in Telugu as “Drushyam” with Ravichandran and Venkatesh in the lead roles, respectively. In 2015, Tamil audiences witnessed “Papanasam,” while Hindi viewers embraced “Drishyam” starring Kamal Haasan and Ajay Devgn, respectively.

Further adaptations followed suit, with a Sinhala version titled “Dharmayuddhaya” in 2017, featuring Jackson Anthony, and a Mandarin Chinese rendition titled “Sheep Without a Shepherd” in 2019, starring Xiao Yang. Various directors helmed the different language versions, with Jeetu Joseph directing only the Tamil iteration. Indonesian and Korean remakes are currently in development.
