Speaking on the same Badshah shared, “People who know me, understand the significance of Shah Rukh Sir in my life. He's not just my idol, he's my source of inspiration. I admire everything about him – his personality, his art, his dedication, his passion, and his brand. It was truly a dream come true when I reached out to Pooja, who manages Shah Rukh. I expressed my urgent need for his narration, even though the release was scheduled for the very next day. Despite the last-minute request, he graciously accepted, for which I am immensely grateful. His profound love for the hip hop community, for anything new, exciting, and meaningful, is truly remarkable. He stands as a beacon of support for anything that embodies a voice or a cause. His debut in the Desi Hip-Hop scene has garnered immense love from the community, further illustrating his unwavering commitment to emerging talent and meaningful expressions.”
This momentous release not only commemorates Badshah's iconic 12+ years in the music industry but also highlights his commitment to pushing artistic boundaries. Celebrating this milestone decade, Badshah presents his fans with what they know him best for – exceptional music.
Following the triumph of his previous albums, Badshah embarks on a revolutionary journey with Ek Tha Raja, dedicating 18 months to curate an album that transcends conventional music-making. With over 25 artistes and producers from both India and abroad joining forces, this highly anticipated album is a testament to collaborative creativity.
