MUMBAI: After dismissal reviews by many musicians, common people and even Organising Committe members, AR Rahman has finally tweaked the theme song for Commonwealth Games 'Oh yaaro, yeh India bula liya', making it more peppier and appealing.
The original version of thr song faced a lot of brickbrats and was openly criticised by CWG Organising Committee's executive board member V K Malhotra and other leaders for "falling short of expectations".
After a meeting, Commonwealth Games, Sports Secretary Sindhu Shree Khullar said, "There will be more music, particularly instrumental, in the opening theme song of the Games."
Asked whether the tweaked version will be like Shakira's 'Waka Waka', the World Cup Football song, he said, "Waka Waka was more commercial. Ours will be like Chake De.
Rahman had taken six months to come up with it and was paid Rs 5 crore, states PTI.
A music video will also be launched next week featuring sportspersons like Milkha Singh, Karnam Malleswari, Abhinav Bindra among others.
