After the rendition of the romantic serenades like Sanu Ik Pal and Mere Rashk-E-Kamar now another chart-topping melody of late Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan will be recreated by the makers of the film ‘Raid’. Titled ‘Nit Khair Manga’, the track has been recreated in parts by lyricist Manoj Muntashir and will be sung by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s singer-nephew, Rahat.
Director Rajkumar Gupta shared:
“The song has been picturised on Ajay, who plays an upright and no-nonsense income tax officer and Ileana, who will be seen in the role of his supportive and brave wife. The song offers a glimpse into the onscreen couple’s life and the love, care and warmth they share in the film. It’s shot across Lucknow including landmark locations such as Hussainabad Clock Tower, Rumi Darwaza, Bada Imambada, Kudiya Ghat and Residency”.
Composer Tanishk Bagchi, who has recreated the song, said,
“When you will hear it, you’ll understand that not just the hook line but the entire song is new. But I also wanted to retain the original’s essence. The good part about Rahat sir’s singing is that he understands the feel of a song which always helps. “Nit Khair” is a powerful romantic number,”.
Presented by Gulshan Kumar & Tseries, A Panorama Studios Production, Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak, and directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, ‘Raid’ releases on 16th March 2018.
