Mustafa Rangwala, the original writer of the song, has now decided to break his silence. “Having written the original, Mauka Mauka ad in 2015, I am indeed aghast at how the tone of this idea has taken a distinctly crass turn,” he tweeted.

Had presented the #maukamauka on Jan 31 2015. The match was on the 14th of Feb. Given only 7 days to make the film Suresh Triveni took over and worked his magic. The phrase "mauka mauka" wasn't in the script but his idea. This is the scratch edit he made before the shoot. https://t.co/ICJgdOMa0n pic.twitter.com/addu8m9nsX

“See the entire series,” he shared, adding, “The second film in the series which was for the match against South Africa was a joke on India. Also, we kept away from jingoistic dialogue and macho displays of fandom,” he said.Rangwala said in 2015, Star Sports India had a Mauka Mauka film ready to congratulate Pakistan if they won. “It wasn’t required to be aired. Wonder if they are similarly well prepared this time,” he revealed.
