thing that strikes me is the lack of reviews of Yuvvraaj's music.

If this story is true, it would really be a pity coz I really feel
that while the quality of their recent films may be questionable,
what is not questionable is the ability of the Yash Raj films banner
to publicize the audio - something that a lot of ARR's releases
suffer from! Having said that

I think the answer is in the interview itself where Sonu says he had
recorded the song first with dummy lyrics and later when the actual
song was to be recorded, he wasnt available. As a matter of showing
respect to him, ARR retained the original humming of Sonu!

Guys - Dont know how many will agree with me but my take on this is
