While listening to music, singing became a hobby and I have been interested in doing something in singing when I am free. My wife Priyanka is from Meerut and the Producer of this movie Shoeb Ahmed is a family friend of mine, a few days back he discussed his upcoming movie Meeruthiya Gangsters and insisted that I sing a song for it. Priyanka further convinced me to utilize this opportunity for trying my hand in singing. On Sunday we recorded this melodious track and I really enjoyed it. I hope listeners and fans will appreciate my effort as they have all this while supported me whenever I am playing the game for my country”.
Shoeb Ahmed said “Suresh Raina’s song has become a highlight of our film and the fact he sang so well shows he has many other talents apart from being a great cricketer. We have been friends for many years and it’s a measure of his warm personality that he has sung for my film.”
