Produced By Salman Ahmed, Zaroori tha was released six years ago, with the music video directed by Rahul Sud.
“It’s an overwhelming feeling reaching a milestone of one billion views on YouTube. ‘Zaroori tha’ is a song that was part of the ‘Back 2 Love’ album released in 2014 by Universal Music India and majestically produced, marketed and showcased more like a movie than just an album by Salman Ahmed. Along with Salman Ahmed, my dear friend Devraj Sanyal, MD and CEO of Universal Music India believed in non-film music and our combination was admired by the world,” said Rahat.
“The credit equally goes to the lyricist Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar for inking such beautiful and meaningful words of ‘Zaroori Tha’. Composed by Sahir Ali Bagga, with the video directed by Rahul Sud, the on screen chemistry of Gauahar Khan and Kushal Tandon was loved by everyone. It’s a big achievement for all of us involved,” he added.
