Dubai does it

Published August 21, 2011

Time to shun the notion that Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is no more a force to reckon with. Indian music director Jeet Ganguli is composing music for a Mukesh/Mahesh Bhatt movie. A couple of weeks back, he needed to record a song with Rahat FAK and was super excited about it. But much to his chagrin Jeet G came to know that the ace vocalist won’t be getting his Indian visa in time. He had to meet the deadline and became so desperate for working with Rahat that Jeet G implored Mukesh Bhatt to send him to Dubai to do the song. They happily agreed. Jeet G flew out to Dubai; Rahat too reached there and the number was recorded to the satisfaction of the young composer.
