He said he shot Rubaab with only Rs 40,000 that he had saved over the years. "It took me four days to complete the song. I am happy that I could do my bit to popularise Hyderabadi lifestyle and culture. I wish to earn my name as a rapper by developing my own Hyderabadi style." he said adding that he's planning to release his next untitled song in three months.
