Recently, at the trailer launch event, Salman Khan revealed that everyone was against him for using the song Naiyo Laagda in the movie.

On Monday, at the trailer launch event of Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, Salman Khan talked about how people disagreed with him and called him ‘arrogant’ for sticking to his creative instincts and including the song Naaiyo Lagda in the movie. The actor said, “Everyone was against me for the song. He has lost the plot, this is the 80s-90s track, how is it going to do well, he has become arrogant. I was like, No, I like it. This is my film; I’m using the song in it.”

The actor further said, “And it’s not like if it didn’t work, you could come and interfere for the next film. You won’t get any such opportunity. So please chill. As long as the director likes it, the heroine likes it and the hero likes the song… So we used it.”

The melodious and soothing song, Naiyo Lagda is composed by Himesh Reshammiya, the lyrics are Shabbir Ahmed and is sung by Palak Mucchal and Kamaal Khan. The song was released near Valentine's Day and people called it the ‘love anthem’.
