We don't doubt Fawad will set hearts on fire considering his vocals and long history with music -- he could play the guitar, bass and drums by the time he was 20. Alia, on the other hand, made her debut as a playback singer with AR Rahman's Sooha Saha in Highway, following up with Samjhawan in Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania.

"Siddharth is yet to make his mark musically but Shakun (director) doesn't expect him to go in for any kind of training as this is not serious singing. He wants to keep it casual and fun," said a source.

As far as the song goes, the makers don't have any references. They've heard a few tracks available and have also asked music directors to compose something fresh. "They are looking for a fun track with a young, energetic vibe like the film," added the source.
