Hyderabad: City rapper ecstatic as 'Bhai' releases his song

Hyderabad: For the Hyderabadi rapper Ruhaan Arshad, this year's Eid would be remembered life long, after his new song 'Bhai Bhai' was released by none other than Bollywood's 'Sultan' Salman Khan on the occasion of Eid. As no new film of 'Bhai' could be released on festival due to Lockdown, this is considered Eidi (Eid gift) for this year from the superstar to his fans.

A 22-year-old rapper who came up with the sensational track 'Miya Bhai' which already crossed 31 crore views on YouTube amongst others got a chance to work with Salman Khan and his team.

The song was officially released on Monday night.The song emphasising secular values and Hindu-Muslim unity was another feather in the cap of this young rapper from the city. 'Bhai Bhai' is sung by Salman Khan and rapper, Ruhaan Arshad. The music is composed by duo Sajid-Wajid and the lyrics by Salman Khan and Danish Sabri.

"The best Eid ever I had celebrated till now and this was dream come true to rap for Salman Khan. This was nothing less than Eidi from superstar himself," said Ruhaan. As soon as the song was released on social media platforms by Salman Khan around 10:30 pm, Ruhaan's fans were shocked that he rapped for Salman Khan and started greeting him. "When I saw my name printed beside Salman sir's name it was like a dream," he added.

Ruhaan Arshad said that when Salman Khan called him up around 3 months back and told him that he wanted him to do a song titled 'Bhai Bhai', he was surprised. His first song was 'Miya Bhai' which had made unprecedented waves worldwide and second and third songs were 'Rubaab' and 'Aandho.' "These rap lyrics based on unity and harmony was noticed by Salman sir and he asked me to pen down the 'rap lyrics' for 'Bhai Bhai' song."

He thinks that this has given opportunity to come up with rap lyrics of song Bhai Bhai with Salman Sir. "I am very much thankful to Salman sir, Sajid-Wajid (Music composer) and the entire team of Bhai Bhai song for giving me this opportunity."

Even after recording the song around 2 months back he didn't reveal to his friends and in his fans, as he wanted it to be revealed by Salman himself. He thanked his fans who supported him and liked his 'Miya Bhai', which was noticed by Salman Khan.

"On Monday at night Salman sir also tweeted the song and wrote "Maine aap subb ke liye kuch banaya hai, dekh ke batana kaisa laga… Aap subb ko eid mubarakh" and tagged me, he added.
