Quotes
Sonu Nigam
Singer and composer associated with the Border franchise.
“Yes, Javed sir is absolutely right in saying that it is not good to bring back old songs. But if Border is a soldier, Sandese Aate Hain is his uniform. We can't imagine Border without the song.”

“As Javed sir said, we must make new songs. He's our elder, our guru, and he'd be so happy to know that Mitte Ke Bete is the gift from Border 2 to our soldiers and every Indian.”

Mithoon
Music composer and nephew of veteran composer Pyarelal Sharma
“He works even today. Even to this day, he sits at the piano every morning and composes music. So, I strongly believe that creativity is not bound by time. In fact, an artist has the power to change time. I don't think that any real artist is dependent on time as far as their craft is concerned.”

“This song carries a legacy that deserves nothing but respect. Anu Malik Ji's composition and Javed Akhtar Saab's poetry has been a part of the nation's emotional ethos for years. It is only an honour that I was given the responsibility to recreate this iconic song and add my dimension to it.”

Javed Akhtar
Veteran lyricist and screenwriter.
“It is a kind of intellectual and creative bankruptcy.”
