After a three-year-long feud, singer Sonu Nigam and T-Series’ head Bhushan Kumar decided to bury the hatchet in June this year. Bhushan recently also attended the singer’s 50th birthday bash, and their happy pictures from the night went viral, sparking off excitement for a possible collaboration.

Now, we have exclusively learnt that the two are teaming up for something super special. Nigam is all set to recreate one of his most iconic and successful songs, Achha Sila Diya from Bewafa Sanam (1995). The track was his first big hit produced in collaboration with Bhushan’s father, the late music mogul Gulshan Kumar. The new version will be a new-age rendition of the classic and feature Nigam in the music video.

“Sonu has been associated with T-Series since Gulshan Kumar’s days and he is very fond of the latter. This cover of Achha Sila Diya will officially mark Sonu-Bhushan coming back together after their public fight. They didn’t have any apprehensions about working together. There were certain misunderstandings but being old friends and frequent collaborators, they have moved past them,” says a source.

The Main Ki Karaan? (Laal Singh Chaddha, 2022) singer started recording for the track yesterday and it is expected to release by end of this month. We’ve also learnt that the two are working together on a “full-fledged music album” next.
