Rahat Fateh Ali and Shafqat sing a duet for My Name is Khan

Strings deny involvement with the film

If it’s a Shah Rukh Khan-Karan Johar film, everything in it would be grand. Especially since Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots is making all the moolah at the box office.

Sneaky Mr Johar has scored a major coup by getting Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan to sing a duet together. The story began somewhere last week when it leaked over the Internet that Shafqat, Rahat and Strings are all doing songs for this much-talked about film.

While Rahat Fateh Ali Khan was unavailable for comment, Shafqat Amanat Ali’s manager, Sania Saeed broke the real story to Instep Today.

“Rahat and Shafqat have both sung songs for the film but it’s a duet. They haven’t shot any video for it though. You can check the updates on Twitter, which Dharma Productions have posted and also check on their official website. As far as I know, Strings are not part of the film.”

The rumour goes that Strings have done the theme song for the film but Bilal Maqsood denied the story. The rumour, according to him, is “false”. Another story doing rounds is that Rahat has done a single that is centered around Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol (we hope SRK doesn’t lip-sync to it). Now whether the single story is true or not, the music release of the film will tell. But Rahat and Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan together is an explosive combination. We can hardly wait.
