I thought he was just sweet talking with me.”
Imtiaz intervened and admitted that Rahman had told him about Kapil’s singing skills. Kapil continued, “He said this to me in a serious manner. I said, ‘Sir we were overseas and which is why we couldn’t speak to each other.'” Lamenting about missing the opportunity to work with AR Rahman, Kapil humoursly said, “I felt really bad, I cried the whole night. It was unfortunate.” Imtiaz went on to say, “But Rahman sir said that if Diljit couldn’t do this film, we had only one more choice which was you.”
