MUMBAI: The makers of the upcoming film “Main Vaapas Aaunga” on Saturday unveiled the track ‘Kya Kamaal Hai’, which celebrates hope amid challenging times. Actor Diljit Dosanjh says that working with Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman doesn’t feel like work, as he calls it an honour.

Diljit said in a statement: “‘Kya Kamal Hai’ is very close to my heart. There’s a certain honesty in this song… it makes you pause and just feel, without trying too hard. Working with Imtiaz Ali Sir is always special because his world feels real, nothing forced, nothing superficial.”

“With A. R. Rahman sir, it doesn’t feel like work… it’s an honour to be working with someone as legendary as him. And Irshad Kamil bhai’s words… they come straight from the heart and land there.”

He added: “There’s a lot of noise and chaos around us today, but this song has a certain stillness. It reminds you to slow down, breathe, and just be in the moment.”

The film’s first song- Kya Kamaal Hai, brings together the collaboration between the global sensation Diljit and Rahman.

“This reminds us of the time of partition of our country in 1947, which has left behind hurt but also beautiful stories of enduring love. The first song is a dream collaboration - Diljit Dosanjh, A. R. Rahman and Irshad Kamil; we bring it out with love at a time where all of us need hope and positivity – Kya Kamaal Hai!” Ali added.
