On Tuesday, Shah Rukh Khan brought us another banger from his upcoming release Jawan, Not Ramaiya Vastavaiya, sung by Vishal Dadlani. The voice of Vishal seems so apt for SRK’s playback, and maybe it is because it isn’t their first rodeo. Before their recent release, Vishal Dadlani has crooned for Shah Rukh Khan 5 more times. Interestingly, each of them has been a chartbuster. While we groove to Not Ramaiya Vastavaiya, here’s recalling their 5 other collaborations.
Break Free from Krazzy 4
Shah Rukh wasn’t acting in Krazzy 4 but he did appear for the special song Break Free. This was the first time Vishal had given his voice to the badshah, and they seemed a perfect fit. Combine Vishal’s sexy voice with SRK’s charm and killer moves, and you have a winner.
Criminal from Ra.One
Next time Vishal and SRK teamed up, they had an illustrious addition to this collaboration, international pop icon Akon. The three of them gave Criminal which became a party favourite. The balance of western music with Indian style was just perfect in it.
Zara Dil Ko Thaam Lo from Don 2
Shah Rukh redefined the iconic role of Don with his portrayal. And while the part has its own gravitas, it was the song Zara Dil Ko Thaam Lo that made him seem all the more invincible. And it had Vishal’s voice written all over it. A hattrick of success for the duo.
One Two Three Four for Chennai Express
Not Ramaiya Vastavaiya features actress Priyamani as well, and interestingly she had featured in another SRK and Vishal song. One Two Three Four from Chennai Express saw this trio together in action for the first time. Another interesting fact is that Nayanthara was approached for the song first, and while she said no to it, she is a part of their recent outing.
India Waale for Happy New Year
In 2014, SRK and Vishal reunited for Happy New Year’s India Waale. The song had other singers as well including KK, Shankar Mahadevan and Neeti Mohan. Vishal was still SRK’s voice and they gave us a foot-thumping number to celebrate our nation and its people.
