Ace Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has already worked his magic in tinsel town but his game just got stronger as he teamed up with maestros AR Rahman and Vishal Bhardwaj for upcoming Bollywood film Jugni.
In a recent interview with The Statesman, Rahat shared his experience on collaborating with both the award-winning music composers.
“It’s an honour for me. I think it’s a great step and a wonderful collaboration. When the film’s music is launched, the songs will be blockbuster hits. Inshallah!” he said.
I will keep visiting India like before: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan
The film consists of 12 tracks all composed by Indian singer-composer Clinton Cerejo. Sharing details about their tracks, Rahat revealed, “AR Rahman has his own track in the film. Clinton kept another track aside for me, which was a qawwali.
“The composition of the qawwali has been modified using musical instrument Rubab, while keeping the basic harmonies intact along with the lyrics. It’s really melodious when heard and it brings a hint of spirituality or you can say an element of rohaaniyat, which slowly reaches your soul. Ek lagan, ek junoon hai… and that is the attraction of the song,” he added.
