In 1969 Sundar Popo released an album named Nana and Nani in which this song was mixed with English lyrics and music was also fused with Caribbean music. After this Babla & Kanchan recreated this song and released in 1982.[3]

Phulauri or Phoelaurie is a bhojpuri dish which is a deep fried ball made of highly seasoned mixture of ground Split pea and Gram flour.[4] Phulauris are eaten with Chutney. The hookline literally says: "What is the purpose of making the Phulauri if Chutney is not there".
