Adnan Sami urges filmmakers to abandon remakes, embrace fresh music

Renowned musician Adnan Sami used a recent interview to voice his disappointment with the growing trend of recreating old Bollywood songs. He said the practice has become a shortcut for producers, often at the expense of artistic innovation.

Sami urged filmmakers, music directors and producers to "take a chance on new melodies" instead of relying on familiar hits. He emphasized that original compositions can resonate more deeply with audiences and keep the industry vibrant.

The singer’s comments come at a time when several high‑profile films have featured multiple remixed tracks, sparking debate among critics about the creative direction of Indian cinema’s music. Sami’s plea adds a prominent voice to calls for a renewed focus on fresh, home‑grown music.
