The first song from upcoming John Abraham-starrer Batla House is out and it’s another Tanishk Bagchi style remix of a classic song featuring Sanjay Dutt and Koena Mitra. Titled ‘O Saki Saki’, the new song features Nora Fatehi flaunting her impeccable dance moves. Nora’s dancing scenes are interspersed with clips of John Abraham in action.
Watch the video of ‘O Saki Saki’ here:
‘O Saki Saki’ has been sung by Neha Kakkar, Tulsi Kumar & B Praak. The music has been recreated by Tanishk Bagchi. It’s the first song from Batla House.
However, even before its release, the song had received flak. On 13 July, Bollywood actor Koena Mitra had taken to Twitter to slam the song. She called the new version “a mess”.
“My song from Musafir #Saaki Saaki" has been recreated. Sunidhi, Suhwinder, Vishal, Shekhar combination was outstanding. Didn't like the new version, it's a mess! This song had crashed many blockbusters! Why batlahouse, why? P. S: Nora is a stunner. Hope she saves our pride,” Koena tweeted.
On 10 July, the trailer for Batla House dropped on YouTube and left viewers with many questions. The film is based on the true incidents of the Batla House encounter of Indian Mujahideen terrorists which took place in 2008. It stars John Abraham in the lead role.
The trailer follows John Abraham, playing the role of IPS Sanjeev Kumar, through the encounter and the investigation that follows. It shows the controversies surrounding the incident, how the encounter is labelled fake by the public and media and how John’s character strives to unravel and present the truth. Mrunal Thakur and Nora Fatehi too are seen in pivotal roles.

Batla House is all set to release on 15 August.
