The news of the song remake has sparked mixed reactions on social media. Outraged by the news, fans objected to how Bollywood could turn Pasoori’s lyrics into a romantic ballad.

However, with the absurd turn of events, Bollywood’s Kartik Aaryan took to his social media to confirm the news of the Pasoori remake and share a teaser of the Pasoori Nu song. The song will be released today, just a few days before the film hits the big screens.

Kartik is getting it wrong.
Songs play a huge role in forming up actor's legacy (mainstream actor) in the long run.
Remaking a hit song might help him today but nobody will remember this song was even there in the movie in 2-3 yrs time. https://t.co/GYFlP2BOX2

Btw, Arijit sounds like he is actually heavily influenced by how Ali sethi sings because truly this isn't how Arijit actually sounds like. https://t.co/QeePiYQVUp

Tweeps are just done with Bollywood being shameful and a hypocrite.

Just dropping it here so all of us can revisit the original gem #Pasoori, sung by brilliant #AliSethi and #ShaeGill. Because the makers of #SatyaPremKiKatha have just dropped the teaser of the remix #PasooriNu and ruined it.

Thoughts on #Pasoori remake
1. Arijit clears Ali Sethi.
2. The okayish tune of the original song is even more underwhelming now, although the new parts sung by Arijit were really good.
3. Tulsi Kumar was AWFUL.
4. Way too short. Doesn't get engaging enough. pic.twitter.com/OrRXFHG72d— 𝘼𝙮𝙪𝙨𝙝 | 𝘾𝙝𝙚𝙘𝙠 𝙋𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙙 📌 (@abasu4ever) June 26, 2023
Is the #Pasoori remake in retaliation to Pakistan stealing Alisha Chinoy's 'Made In India' to 'Made in Pakistan' ??? 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/OX0hnBujHK

It’s unfortunate that we knew this would happen as soon as #Pasoori hit popularity last year. Where is the creativity? Pasoori has 600 M views! Just waiting for Kahani Suno to be “remade” now. Why do great songs need to be remade at all? Just so they can be “claimed”?

just now listended #Pasoori reamke it's just the same thing how #Terebin managed it's 47th episode with voiceovers but yes obviously #arjit's voice is always worthy to listen.

You guys can try all you want but the original version will always be iconic. Something which even Shea gill & Ali sethi cannot replicate again😊#Pasoori https://t.co/gbMNxUA0iM

I think the hate comments on the new #PasooriNu with is bcoz,inside ppl know that #ArijitSingh is gonna make the song more powerful and beautiful.&it will be beyond their ego to accpt it.That's y ppl are saying 'They ruined it'& all when only 10 sec have been released😂#Pasoori

My ears are hurting!! Bollywood's rendition of #Pasoori fails to capture the magic of the original. Why, oh why, Arijit? https://t.co/eCStyLvoGb

Don't want to pass a judgement before the final song comes out. hapy that #arijising is covering the song instead of others who already ruin #pakistanisongs .T Series gave credit to #alisethi and they claimed that all right are reserved .#pasoorinu #pasoori#shaegill pic.twitter.com/I6PNmPp8IN
