Lending their voice to an AR Rahman track is probably every Indian singer’s dream. It’s also a test of their skills.

Recording the song, about the aching longing felt by two unrequited lovers, was a meticulous process under the maestro’s guidance that involved attempting multiple iterations, lyric changes, and different dubs.
