‘Maskara’ Song Out Now: Vedang Raina Lends Voice to Main Vaapas Aaunga’s Romantic Track
Acclaimed filmmaker Imtiaz Ali is gearing up for the release of his much-anticipated period romance Main Vaapas Aaunga, and the excitement has only grown with the launch of its second song, Maskara.
After the positive response to the teaser and the first single Kya Kamaal Hai, the makers have now dropped Maskara—a track that beautifully captures the playful, mischievous side of young love.
A Song Rooted in Romance and Nostalgia
Maskara stands out for its charming portrayal of romance that transcends time. Set against the emotional backdrop of the 1947 partition, the song reflects how expressions of love—teasing, playful, and heartfelt—remain unchanged across generations.
Adding a unique touch, lead actor Vedang Raina has lent his own voice to the song alongside Nilanjana Ghosh Dastidar, making it even more personal and immersive.

- Music Composer: A. R. Rahman
- Lyricist: Irshad Kamil
- Singers: Vedang Raina & Nilanjana Ghosh Dastidar
Rahman’s composition blends classical undertones with contemporary arrangements, creating a melody that feels both timeless and fresh.
