The makers of the new single Befikra have denied there is any similarity between their song and director Aditya Chopra’s movie Befikre, starring Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor.
The single and the film have both been shot in Paris. The poster of the film showed lead actors Singh and Kapoor kissing. Similarly, the stars of the video — Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani — are also seen kissing several times in the single.
At the launch of the song, when asked about the similarity, director Sam Bombay said: “We had decided nine months ago that we will shoot in Paris. There was no coincidence in it. It is going on since that time.”
Bhushan Kumar, of music label T-series that has produced the song, said: “That time I think Befikre was not launched, not even the title of the film was launched.”
Lyricist Kumaar said: “When I started writing [the song], I didn’t even know that another film was coming up. We have written it on our own. That title came up later.”
Kumar added: “There is similarity, it is not the same. This is Befikra and that is Befikre.”
Befikra is the third single Shroff is starring in for the same music label after Zindagi Aa Raha Hoon Main and Chal Wahan Jaate Hain.
