The makers of Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai have unveiled the new song Chunnari Chunnari, an iconic track from the 1999 blockbuster Biwi No. 1 featuring Salman Khan and Sushmita Sen.

The new song has been arranged by Akshay Raheja and Abhishek Singh, with the music video choreographed by Remo D'souza and featuring Varun Dhawan, Pooja Hegde, and Mrunal Thakur.

However, the internet has reacted harshly to the remake, with several users calling it a 'butchering' of the original song.

One user said, 'It must've been insanely hard to mess this up,' while another said, 'Thanks for destroying the cult song. Not even 1% of the original.'

The remake has sparked controversy, triggering a feud involving producer Ramesh Taurani, David Dhawan, and veteran producer Vashu Bhagnani over the recreated version of the iconic track.
