He told HT City, “Yeh lyrics maine nahi likhe hain, the film’s director Prem wrote them in Kannada. When they asked me to write all this, I refused, saying that such songs won’t work, and they will be censored. They told me that they only translated the Kannada version literally and gave it to me, they will set the song.” Words like ‘Choosega’, ‘chaatega’ are only there in the original version”.
