Javed Akhtar refused to write songs in ‘Border 2’?

While talking to India Today, Javed Akhtar said that the makers of ‘Border 2’ had talked to me for the song. But I refused myself. Javed Akhtar said, “They had asked me to write a song for the film, but I refused. Really, I think this is a kind of creative bankruptcy.
