Songs are composed by 6-7 people together. Choli Ke Pehchi Kya Hai was written by one man, composed by two men, danced by 2 girls, and shot by one cameraman. These 8-10 people are a bit of a problem. The problem is that this song had become a super hit in society.
Javed Akhtar further said, 'Crores of people liked this song. This scares us. people tell me that they are not liking the recent songs, but only 5-6 people are responsible for making the songs.
