Farah Khan: Masakali's True Origin Revealed!

Summary
- A.R. Rahman originally composed 'Masakali' for Om Shanti Om.
- Vishal-Shekhar were the second choice for Om Shanti Om's music.
- 'Masakali' later appeared in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Delhi-6.
Filmmaker Farah Khan disclosed a surprising detail about the musical origins of the popular song 'Masakali.' In a recent YouTube vlog, Khan revealed that the renowned composer A.R. Rahman had originally created 'Masakali' for her 2007 film Om Shanti Om. Rahman was Khan's first choice for the movie's soundtrack, with the composer duo Vishal-Shekhar slated as their second option.
Rahman's composition of 'Masakali' for Om Shanti Om, though ultimately not used in that film, marked a unique moment. The song later found its place in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's 2009 film Delhi-6. This revelation came up during a conversation between Khan and Vishal Dadlani, where they also celebrated the enduring, epic masala music of Om Shanti Om, created without contemporary AI tools.
Om Shanti Om, directed by Farah Khan and starring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, is remembered for its vibrant, traditional Bollywood musical score. The film's visuals and music, including songs like 'Dhoom Tana,' are still celebrated for their artistic creation.
