The popular Hindi song from the 90’s, Waada Raha Sanam (Khiladi), was sung by Abhijeet and Alka Yagnik. However, it was only recently that Abhijeet revealed the story behind the song. Originally, this amazing hit song of the era was supposed to be performed by S P Balasubrahmanyam and Lata Mangeshkar.
At the time, Abhijeet was gaining fame from a good number of hit songs. Music directors Jatin and Lalit suddenly changed their mind and selected Abhijeet for the song to perform alongside Lata Mangeshkar. Unfortunately, Lata could not manage her time for the recording, after which Alka was requested to fill in for her. In 1992, the song Waada Raha Sanam became a big hit much like the movie itself.
Till date, the film is considered as a big career break for both Akshay Kumar and Ayesha Jhulka. The music album of the film was also a mile stone in the career of the singers and the composers. The lyricist of the song was Anwar Sagar while the movie was directed by Abbas Mastan and produced by Girish Jain.
