As soon as the first song of Fighter, “Sher Khul Gaye”, was released online, fans couldn’t help but point out the similarities between the Vishal-Sheykhar song and the Bee Gees song “Stayin’ Alive”. Some fans also felt like the song sounded quite like BTS’ “Dynamite”. Now, director Siddharth Anand has opened up about these similarities and said that the notes of “Sher Khul Gaye” and “Stayin’ Alive” are similar.
In a chat with Zoom, when the director was asked about the comparisons, he said, “I think it is those notes which are similar and that always will happen. Like you will have a song that is not inspired but has similar notes and similar progressions.” The director then hummed the “Radha” song from Student of the Year and said that the “scanning is very similar” to Aap Ki Kasam’s “Jai Jai Shiv Shankar”.
Sung by Vishal & Sheykhar, Benny Dayal, Shilpa Rao, and composed by Vishal & Sheykhar with lyrics by Kumaar, “Sher Khul Gaye” released online in December. So far, the music of Fighter has generated a positive response from fans but the euphoria for the film’s album has been much lesser than Pathaan. Siddharth Anand’s 2023 film also had music by Vishal & Sheykhar.
