 The track " Munni Badnaam Hui " is said to be inspired by an old Bhojpuri folk song " Launda Badnaam Hua Naseeban Tere Liye " . Director Abhinav Kashyap accepted using the folk song saying that he , being from Uttar Pradesh , was familiar with the song since childhood so he suggested the very song to be improvised and rephrased to fit the film 's requirement . It was alleged that it was inspired from the Pakistani song " Ladka Badnaam Hua " from the film Mr. Charlie ( 1992 ) .
