Although Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is not visiting India as frequently as he used to (some say he hasn’t set foot in that country for quite some time now), he is still the numero uno Bollywood playback singer.

Ask any music director in India about who s/he’d like to work with and the first name that they invariably will take is that of Rahat F K. To gauge the verity of this claim just listen to the song Tere Naina Bare Daghabaz from the forthcoming Dabangg 2 and you will know. The song is a rage in India and is the number one hit on every music channel. It is a lilting track which has lent credence to the otherwise ordinary music of Sajid-Wajid. Good job, Rahat F K. Way to go!
