Arijit Singh and Vishal Dadlani
Anurag Kashyap is venturing into Gujarati cinema with a thriller, Wrong Side Raju, which will have Bollywood's top singers, Arijit Singh and Vishal Dadlani, going the Gujju chokra way for the first time too. The two have been roped in by music composer duo Sachin-Jigar to lend voice to two diverse tracks.

Says Jigar, "The film has three songs in all. Arijit has a romantic song while Vishal has a rock-n-roll track. The third one by Divya Kumar (of Jee Karda fame) will go with a garba sequence."
The film's music is set to release in a fortnight. Sachin says, "Vishal, Arijit and Divya are category creators in their own right. With this initiative, we wish to showcase to the world how music knows no boundaries and speaks the universal language of love. We took over six months to prepare for this."
Vishal seemed excited about his Gujarati singing debut when hitlist asked him about his experience. "I am grateful to Sachin-Jigar for this. I hope that I have done a decent job with the pronunciation. It's a personal ambition to sing in every single Indian language, so this is one step in that direction."
