Still from Maskara
Imtiaz Ali's much-anticipated film, Main Vaapas Aaunga, is already creating a strong buzz. The teaser and Diljit Dosanjh's title track Kya Kamaal Hai have received much love.
The makers recently released the romantic track Maskara, which has been sung by Vedang Raina and Nilanjana Ghosh. It has also been receiving overwhelmingly warm responses across streaming platforms and social media. While fans continue to listen to it, Vedang Raina shared a behind-the-scenes video from the recording studio, giving everyone a closer look at the journey behind this soulful composition.
In the video, Vedang Raina was visibly nervous yet excited about the opportunity to record a song with A.R. Rahman. He admitted he had to remind himself to 'stay calm' while he recorded the song.
Sharing the video, Vedang said, "Not too long ago I was making covers of arrahman compositions. Now I get to collaborate with him. I really don't have the words to describe how I'm feeling right now. I dedicate this to that little boy who dreamed of this. Who heard the Roja album on repeat. Thank you imtiazaliofficial for trusting me to be a part of your vision. I hope I could do justice. Maskara out now on all streaming platforms. Go listen"
Vedang's heartfelt note adds a deeply personal layer to the song's success, highlighting how special this collaboration has been for the young actor-singer.
Composed by A. R. Rahman, with lyrics by Irshad Kamil, and also sung by Nilanjana Ghosh, Maskara beautifully captures the playful, unspoken emotions of young love, its hesitation, charm, and quiet intensity. The track has struck a chord with audiences for its fresh yet timeless appeal, with listeners praising its honest portrayal of budding romance.
Main Vaapas Aaunga is set in Imtiaz Ali's dreamy world of love and longing, starring Diljit Dosanjh, Naseeruddin Shah, Sharvari Wagh, and Vedang Raina in pivotal roles. Produced by Applause Entertainment and Mohit Choudhary and Shibasish Sarkar of Window Seat Films, the film releases in cinemas on 12th June 2026. Music on TIPS.
