Ayushmann Khurrana is stepping into Salman Khan’s place as the iconic 1998 song O O Jaane Jaana from Pyar Kiya Toh Darna Kya is being recreated for the sequel of Pati Patni Aur Woh. This update, reported by Box Office Worldwide, has already sparked strong reactions online.
The makers say the remix will retain the original song’s energy while adding modern electronic sounds and a grand visual style. Mudassar Aziz returns to direct the film after handling the 2019 version of Pati Patni Aur Woh. This sequel pairs Ayushmann with Sara Ali Khan, Rakul Preet Singh and Wamiqa Gabbi.
The new version of the song will feature Ayushmann in a stylish celebratory track that fits the story. Bhushan Kumar is producing the film under T-Series, and the team has locked a Holi 2026 release. The composer has not been officially named, though industry sources say a popular contemporary duo is handling the remix.
Bollywood continues the trend of reviving classic hits for younger viewers. But this remake has upset many Salman fans. The original track, sung by Kamaal Khan and composed by Jatin-Lalit, is still remembered for Salman Khan’s iconic look and unmatched screen presence.
Fans say the industry is disrespecting Salman’s legacy by reusing his most beloved songs instead of creating new music. Many also feel that today’s filmmakers rely too heavily on 90s remakes instead of taking creative risks. They believe nostalgia loses value when overused.
This announcement has received mixed reactions. Some want to see Ayushmann’s version, while others feel the original should be left untouched. Now, everyone is waiting to see how the new Pati Patni Aur Woh presents this modern take on a timeless classic.
