Music maestro and renowned qawwal Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is all geared up for his upcoming song, which is called ‘Zindagi’ and is presently being shot at exciting and exotic locations in Hollywood.

According to producer Salman Ahmed of PME (Portfolio Marketing and Events), the locations selected for the video have never been seen in films, drama serials or any video up till now. “The video is being helmed by a renowned director, whose name we can’t reveal as yet but it will be unveiled quite soon. For now all we can say is that he has been a part of some major Hollywood movies,” he shared.

Speaking about the song, Ahmed reiterated that with ‘Zindagi’ the very mainstream Rahat Fateh Ali Khan - with his strong vocals - will once again create magic, just like his single, ‘Zaroori Tha’ from his album Back 2 Love that released in 2014.

“It’s been a little over four years that I produced RFAK’s album Back 2 Love and the song ‘Zaroori Tha’ is about to reach a milestone of 500,000,000 (500 Million) views on YouTube. This was a non-filmi song and the video featured Gauhar Khan and Kushal Tandon,” informed the producer.

Coming back to the upcoming song ‘Zindagi’, Ahmed said that the video is being shot like a movie. He went on to add that the pre and post release preparations for the song and its music video is such that the budget could very well surpass what local producers spend on making movies. The song along with its video will be launched at Leicester Square, London, where major movies are released.

In the past, RFAK’s album Back 2 Love was launched at the 2014’s IIFA Awards in Tampa Bay, Florida.
