Director Farhad Samji said that it is good when a song turns into a meme or a spin and it indicates the popularity of the song and the film. He spoke about the response Salman Khan’s new song Naiyyo Lagda and Billi Billi have received online. The songs are featured in Salman’s upcoming film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ka Jaan.

Farhad has directed Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan starring Venkatesh Daggubati, Pooja Hegde, Bhumika Chawla, Jagapathi Babu, Abhimanyu Singh, Vijender Singh, Raghav Juyal, Jassie Gill and Vinali Bhatnagar. Shehnaaz Gill and Palak Tiwari will make their Bollywood debut with the film. The film is set to hit theaters on Eid this year.
Saying that the new song from Kisi Ka Bhau Kisi Ka Jaan is a popular audio for trending wheels on Instagram, Farhad said in an Instagram live session, “Nayyo lagda is a negative word but it has turned out to be positive for us. Nayyo Lagda sabko lagda (Nayyo lagda is popular with everyone).” The director then talked about a reel in which he saw a man trying to stick a heart-shaped paper on a wall and another man grabbing it and running away. The man shouted “naeyo lagda, tere bin ge nil mera naeyo lagda.”
