Vedang Raina Lives Dream Recording Mascara with Rahman

In a moment straight out of a Bollywood fairytale, rising star Vedang Raina stepped into A.R. Rahman's studio for 'Mascara'. His Instagram video from the 'Main Wapas Aaunga' recording session lays bare the nerves and euphoria of singing alongside the Oscar winner. The track, a romantic gem voiced with Nilanjana Ghosh, is winning fans fast. Sweaty palms and starry eyes dominate the clip, as Vedang articulates the improbability of his path. 'Covering Rahman's songs was my world; now, creating one with him is beyond dreams,' he beamed, struggling to contain his elation. The dedication hit home: to his boyhood self, glued to 'Roja', harboring secret ambitions in music. Imtiaz Ali earned special thanks for entrusting him with this role, transforming a professional shoot into an intimate date with destiny. Irshad Kamil's lyrics paired with Rahman's melody evoke young love's silent intensities. Packed with Diljit Dosanjh, Naseeruddin Shah, and Sharvari, the film from Applause Entertainment and Window Seat Films arrives June 12, 2026. Vedang's vulnerability in the video bridges the gap between aspiring artist and achiever, setting the stage for 'Mascara' to become an anthem and the movie a must-watch.
