On Monday, the teaser of Emraan Hashmi-starrer Awarapan 2 was released. Amaal Mallik has composed the title track of the film, and he took to X (formerly Twitter) to share multiple tweets in which he spoke about the song. The composer-singer also thanked music composer Pritam and Pakistani singer Mustafa Zahid, who were a part of Awarapan's (2007) music album.
For Mustafa, Amaal tweeted, "Also a big hug to the man we all must never forget, the voice of the original #MustafaZahid and his contribution to the 2007 soundtrack - My homie, my brother from another mother & a dangerous border @Mustafology 😅♥️ We could’ve never been doing this if you hadn’t done the magic in the original my bro 🤯👏🏻 Thank you for the stupendous melodies, the impeccable vocals and that emptiness in your rendition still haunts me and heals me (sic)."

Reacting to Amaal's tweet, the Pakistani singer wrote, "Lots of love Amaal, remember borders are dangerous but then so is love. Take Awarapan's legacy to another level, the stage is all yours Mere Bhai (sic)."

In Awarapan, Mustafa had sung two popular tracks, Toh Phir Aao and Tera Mera Rishta. Even after 19 years, audiences continue to love the songs.
