Akhil Sachdeva reveals Emraan Hashmi's brief for Awarapan 2 song
A man named Akhil Sachdeva makes music for movies.
He made a new song for a movie called Awarapan 2.
The movie stars an actor named Emraan Hashmi.
Emraan called Akhil himself and asked him to make the song.
He wanted the song to be different from Akhil's other songs.
So Akhil did not make a love song or a sad song.
He used some Punjabi words in the song.
Some people did not like that at first and said unkind things.
But after they watched the movie, many people said sorry to Akhil online.
Akhil is happy because his song became one of the most talked-about songs in the film.
Music composer Akhil Sachdeva composed the song 'Piya Ghar Aaya - Homecoming' for the film 'Awarapan 2'.
Emraan Hashmi personally approached Sachdeva and gave him full creative freedom for the song.
Hashmi wanted a different flavour, asking for a song unlike Sachdeva's usual love or heartbreak tracks.
Sachdeva used Punjabi words in the song's lyrics, which was not the case with the original 'Awarapan'.
Sachdeva faced criticism and abuse over the Punjabi words, but says theatre-goers apologized to him on Instagram after watching the film.
