On whose advice was the song Jai Ho removed from Salman's film? Got Oscar later

Jai Ho Song: A film was released in the year 2008, whose name was Slumdog Millionaire. There was a song in this film directed by Danny Boyle, 'Jai Ho'. This song was a worldwide hit at that time and it also received the Oscar Award in the Best Original Song category. But do you know that this song was not composed for Slumdog Millionaire, but for Salman Khan starrer film Yuvraj? Yes, this is true.

Yuvraj's director Shubhash Ghai recently revealed in an interview that the song Jai Ho composed by AR Rahman was first used in Yuvraj. However, the song did not fit the situation of the film, hence it was not kept in the film.

So Jai Ho song would have been in Yuvraj

Shubhash Ghai told about the song, “The song Jai Ho was made for Yuvraj. We recorded it, but later I felt that it would not fit the situation. Rahman gave the song to that film (Slumdog Millionaire). He himself had composed this song.”

Actually, this song was going to be filmed on Zayed Khan's character in the film. Shubhash Ghai had told that he happily gave this song to the composer because it was needed in Danny Boyle's film. He said, “I thought the song was too soft for the aggressive character (Zayed Khan). I'm glad he used it."

AR Rahman had said this

Earlier in an interview, AR Rahman had also mentioned this incident. He had told that Shubhash Ghai did not want to take this song (Jai Ho), but Danny Boyle liked this song very much, so I gave him this song.
