Looks like Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has taken a liking to singing about the eyes of a beloved. After 'Tere Mast Mast Do Nain' and 'Dhagabaaz Re Tere Naina', he is now singing 'Naina Tose Lagay' for the upcoming Bollywood film Meeruthiya Gangsters.

The romantic song was unveiled at the music launch of the film. The video of the song shows the leading pair Nushrat Bharucha and Vansh Bhardwaj having a ball in different locations from green hills to busy roads to hilltop restaurants.

While the song has been composed by Siddhant Madhav, the lyrics have been written by Arafat Mehmood.

With Mika Singh singing the title song, the producer of the film Shoeb Ahmad was glad that Rahat had agreed to sing this number: "Mika Singh’s voice was apt for our previous track ‘Mastam Mastam’ and similarly Rahat Fateh Ali Khan was perfect for this romantic track. He is choosy about his projects, so we’re feeling fortunate that he accepted our song,."

Shifting from the grim tales of gangs, Meeruthiya Gangsters will be a light take on the same theme revolving around extortionists. Directed by Gangs of Wasseypur writer Zeishan Quadri, the film's cast includes Jaideep Ahlawat, Mukul Dev, Aakash Dahiya, Sanjay Mishra, Brijendra Kala.

The film releases on September 18. Watch the song here:
