Malik told the magazine that he is a “big fan of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan”. He said he made the song and got Khan on board. Khan listened to the track, liked the concept, and gave it the go-ahead. He said that Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has very strong vocals.
Malik’s hit “O Jaana” marked the directorial debut of singer-turned-actor Farhan Saeed, and starred actor Iqra Aziz alongside the singer.
