The song was written and composed in the span of just one night. Dinesh Vijan said “Khalifa was the first session that we had with Rahman sir and this track just came together that night with a life of its own and it just sets the tone of the album. It manages to capture the state of mind of today’s generation. It is not just a song but an experience.”
Amitabh Bhattacharya, who is the lyricist of the song, fitted the phrase ‘Khalifa’ as soon he heard the track. Amitabh says “Khalifa being the first and main song of the film had to be something very catchy, we were in search of a perfect phrase or a word and that is when I came up with the word Khalifa, it means being a leader, it was a perfect thought which fell in place”.
Arif said “Khalifa captures the zesty spirit of gen-now/youth who bounce about painting the town red. It has been shot across various hot spots in Mumbai, and represent the confident attitude of I am the ruler of my destiny”
The film will mark the entry of Raj Kapoor’s grandson Armaan with southern beauty Deeksha. Eros International & Illuminati Films’ Lekar Hum Deewana Dil directed by Arif Ali is scheduled to release on 4 July.
An entertainer for the youth by the youth – Lekar Hum Deewana Dil is all about making mistakes and growing up as it takes audiences through the journey of two friends who take decisions, face consequences and learn from them. It reflects the ‘act first, think later’ sentiments of today’s youth and how relationships fail over unrealistic expectations.
