Badshah, while talking about the criticism around 'Masakali 2.0', said, "Comparisons are inevitable." He added that he loved the remix of 'Aankh Marey' more than the original. Talking about his recreated version of AR Rahman's 'Humma Humma' song, Badshah said, "We were at an event and he (Rahman) called me...to say he really liked my remixed version of Humma Humma."
