"It is a God sent opportunity for me. Few chaupaiyans were picturised on me in my first lead role and people do relate these chaupaiyans with me, I feel. That's why the makers felt I would be apt for this. I don't know if I am a good singer or not, I do manage, I feel. I will be very happy agar yeh gaana bhakton ko Ram ji ki aur zyada le jaaye. Ek madhur bhav hai in me," he says talking about the devotional number, which is a part of Shri Ram Bhakti Utsav series on Shemaroo Bhakti.

While the original was sung by Jaspal Singh with music and lyrics by Ravindra Jain, this song is composed by Deepak Pandit. He adds it was overwhelming to sing as such opportunities "can only come to you and you can't think of getting or chasing them".
