Did you know? Local band Raeth sings for Zanjeer re-make

With a string of actors, singers and musicians crossing over to Bollywood, it doesn’t really come off as a surprise that a band like Raeth considers itself lucky to have bagged a gig in an Indian movie. The band has sung a song for the Ram Charan and Priyanka Chopra-starrer, Zanjeer, a re-make of the original ’70s movie that featured Amitabh Bachchan and the late Pran.

Sunny Ghansham, the rhythm guitarist for the band, told The Express Tribune, “It so happened that about three weeks ago, while we were in Karachi, we were contacted to perform a demo for a Bollywood film. However, we were told that our vocals will not be included as we are an upcoming band, and some big names will be performing the vocals.”



But as luck might have it, vocalist Wajhi Farook performed for the song, Lamha Tera Mera, alongside playback singer Palak Mucchall and it was approved. “Once it was done in Wajhi’s voice, we were given a green signal to record it and now we are standing up as musicians,” he added.

The music for the song has been composed by Chirantan Bhatt and the song has been recorded at T-series studio in Mumbai.
