the trend of recreating retro songs in bollywood seems to be at its peak at present while playback singer and music composer ankit tiwari isnt averse to the idea he has his own priorities straight he wants to stick to the originals this however has not often yielded results ankit sayshe tells us that as he always stuck to the original compositions and stayed away from singing rehashed versions of old songs a lot of his contemporaries went ahead in the race he was in jaipur to perform at a campus festankit tiwari in jaipur shalini maheshwaribccli am not against remakes they help in selling a film or creating a buzz around it but its my personal choice to stick to original music after aashiqui 2 i sang galliyan then i sang tu hai ke nahi and a number of other songs in films including airlift rustom baaghi etc yahaan tak sab sahi chal raha tha he saysthen suddenly this trend of remaking old songs made its way into bollywood and everybody went gaga over it almost every second film today has a rehashed version of an old song in fact even nonfilmi songs are now being rehashed and used in bollywood films which is a good thing but i dont want to be a part of that trend not as a composer or as a singer i have always loved originality i am trying my best but maybe because of that meri speed thodi kam ho gayi hai but thats how it is and i am at peace with it he adds ankit tiwari and arijit singhthere was a time when ankit and arijit singh were sailing in the same boat but now arijit has completely swept over the industry overshadowing the likes of shaan mohit chauhan and atif aslam opening up about the comparisons with arijit ankit replies i have not done as much work as arijit so you cant compare us i might have been in the industry for a longer period of time than him but he has done a lot more work in fact if you look at our work you will see that arijit has sung for a lot of big stars i am yet to do thatand then i am also a composer i understand that this comparison started after aashiqui 2 it used to affect me initially but over the years i have realised that we are simply drops in this ocean and everybody is doing his or her work and trying to give their best shot i have a long way to go he adds while ankit has performed in the pink city before this was the first time he was performing at a college fest jaipur is a city with a lot of genuine people they appreciate your work i think jaipur ka ek andaz hai milne ka it pulls you towards the city he sayswatch ankit tiwari i have not done as much work as arijit singh you
