Veteran music composer-cum-singer Bappi Lahiri has claimed credit for the success of pop diva Jennifer Lopez\u2019s latest track On The Floor saying that its tune is similar to his song Sochana Kya from the 1990 blockbuster Ghayal.\n\u201cJennifer Lopez\u2019s new song On the Floor that has a Lambada-sampling and has become a huge hit is identical to my song Sochana Kya Jo Bhi Hoga Dekha Jayega. The opening tune is same,\u201d he told PTI.
\n\u201cI brought Lambada to India 19 years ago and she has done it now. The credit goes to me,\u201d he added.
\nLahiri recently made his acting debut on the small screen with the show Ishaan on Disney Channel.
\n\u201cI did the role of disco king in the serial Ishaan. It was a good experience. I took this offer as I liked the script. I have also sung a disco song for children,\u201d he said.
\nThe 58-year-old Lahiri, known for his fetish for jewellery especially gold ornaments, will also be acting in a film called Rocking Dard-e-Disco.
\n\u201cI am playing the role of a disco-king. He is owner of three discos in the city. The film is directed by Ashok Tyagi, produced by Dhumketu Punatar Films and stars Rituparna Sengupta, Sneha Ullal and Aryaman. Then I have Spaghetti where I will be composing the music. The film has Mithun Chakraborty and his son Mimoh,\u201d he said. Lahiri has made minuscule appearances in Shahrukh Khan\u2019s Om Shanti Om and Salman Khan\u2019s Main Aur Mrs Khanna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
