Sandesh Shandilya, the film&rsquo;s music composer, says, &ldquo;We recently met Ustad Hamid Ali Khan at an event that was held in Amritsar.
When we requested him to record a song for our film, he readily agreed upon hearing that Gulzarsahab is associated with the project. It turns out that both of them share a very good equation.
Soon after, he came down to Mumbai for two days and recorded the song, 'Kaleje mein lag jaati toh kya hota'. It&rsquo;s an emotional song that advocates putting humanity above border scuffles.&rdquo;
Shandilya adds that since the film revolves around Indo-Pak relationship, they have roped in singers from both countries for the film&rsquo;s soundtrack.
&ldquo;There are four songs in all; while Sukhwinder Singh and Papon have recorded one song each, the other two have been sung by Pakistan&rsquo;s Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan and Ustad Hamid Ali Khan respectively,&rdquo; he says.
