Mumbai Director-composer Vishal Bhardwaj is awaiting the release of his upcoming film ‘Khufiya’. He shared an interesting anecdote about when he heard the voice of India’s superstar singer Arijit Singh for the first time.

The first song I heard of Arijit Singh was ‘Phir Le Aaya Dil’ from the film ‘Barfi’, this song was recorded by Arijit for music director Pritam.

Before making a splash at the national level, Arijit used to help Pritam in music recording and programming.

This track came from Pritam to Vishal Bhardwaj’s wife Rekha. But, she was surprised to hear Arijit’s voice. She wanted to make her husband hear Arijit’s voice.

Recalling the same, Vishal said, “For the music recording of Anurag Basu’s ‘Barfi’, Arijit had sung the scratch of the beautiful song ‘Phir Le Aaya Dil’ and sent it to Rekha to record the song.

He used to work with Pritam at that time. Rekha was so impressed by his song that she took permission from Pritam to make me sing the song.

The music composer further mentioned, “Since then Rekha and I became fans of his voice. Rekha also talked to Anurag about having Arijit’s version in the film. Initially, only Rekha’s version was to be a part of the film. Rekha And I love Arijit’s voice and we have seen him grow beautifully.

The film ‘Khufia’, directed by Vishal, is set to stream on Netflix from October 5.
