Farah Khan Reveals 'Masakali' Was Originally Composed for Om Shanti OmPreviousNext

Farah Khan revealed that the song 'Masakali,' famously featured in the 2009 film Delhi 6, was originally composed by AR Rahman for her film Om Shanti Om. She initially approached Rahman for Om Shanti Om's soundtrack, with Vishal-Shekhar as backup composers. Although Rahman created 'Masakali' for Om Shanti Om, it was later used in Delhi 6. Vishal Dadlani praised the music of Om Shanti Om, highlighting its traditional Bollywood style and production without AI technology.
