Rajdeep says, “I love every genre of music but Sufi and romantic songs are dearer to me.  This is my first attempt to composing and am glad that people are loving it.” Talking about Bismillah, he adds “This is also my first original single with Zee music. The song is shot in Dubai with actor Sara Khan and me. It was a great experience to work with her as she is a thorough professional and an amazing actor.”
