Choreographer-director Farah Khan says the song “Masakali” was originally created for the film “Om Shanti Om,” before its final placement. Khan explains that when the track was made, she did not yet know where she would include it in the production.
In describing the film’s music planning, Khan also says A. R. Rahman was the first choice to compose music for “Om Shanti Om.” The comments provide behind-the-scenes context on how the soundtrack and song placements evolve during production, with “Masakali” eventually taking its final form in a different movie context than originally planned.
The reporting is based on Khan’s own statements and focuses on production intent and creative decision-making rather than on any new developments involving the films themselves.
