Thursday, 3rd July 2014, 05:00 PM IST Sonu Nigam had apparently sung the song ‘Hangover’for Sajid Nadiadawala's ‘Kick’ last year but wasn’t informed that his voice has been replaced by Salman Khan. The song ‘Hangover’ is a romantic duet which was sung with Shreya Ghoshal but later Sonu's portions were dubbed over by Salman, while Shreya’s portions were retained. Manmeet of Meet Brothers, said, "We were looking for a singer but couldn't find the perfect voice. This is when Salman stepped in and insisted he sing it himself." A source close to the production said, "Sajid had approached Sonu to sing the number. They didn't even discuss the remunerations as Sonu has sung several times in the past for Salman Khan's films. After the recording, Sajid messaged him saying that the track has turned out well and that he couldn't get the song out of his head. But, then, he was dropped and replaced by Salman." Sonu said, "Yes, I had recorded this song last year. I wasn't told that it has been dropped. I read it in the papers that Salman had sung it. I wasn't even paid for it." Although Sonu’s displeasure is understandable, the producer’s decision to use Salman’s star value in the song has worked wonders as the song is quickly climbing the charts with almost 5 lakh views since its audio version’s release online on Tuesday.
