Taking to Twitter, Rohail wrote, “I’m looking for singers that best represent their provincial and minority communities in Pakistan. Please share any names and links that come to your mind.”

Following the tweet, he received a suggestion listing well-known artists such as Mai Dhai, Chakwal Group and Akhtar Chanal Zehri. The user also asked if Rohail was in search of hidden gems.
Rohail responded to the Twitter user and clarified that he is looking for more inclusion and diversity.

Another Twitter user advised the producer to not mess with the original composition by Ahmed Ghulam Ali Chagla.
“I really hope they don’t destroy the marching rhythm and grand orchestra of Chagla, a great old Pakistani master with equal command over western and Indian classical music. Hafeez Jalandhari’s lyrics are often both debated and lauded, but fewer people talk of Chagla’s genius,” he wrote.
Rohail responded that “very special consideration” was being given to the original composition.
“Chagla sb was nothing short of genius, indeed. Very special consideration is being given to his original score, which unfortunately is not usually performed exactly as it’s written. The arrangement he has crafted is aww-inspiring,” Rohail replied thanking the user for his “well placed concern”
