Himesh Reshammiya, who is on a high after garnering positive reactions for his act in Happy Hardy and Heer, is teaming up with Javed Akhtar for his next. Set to act and compose in Namastey Rome, directed by Rajesh Sethi, Reshammiya will collaborate with Akhtar after they last worked on Namastey London, which garnered good reviews for its score. The winning combination of Reshammiya and Akhtar believes that they have outdone themselves with this edition.

Akhtar says, "I believe that once any creative work is over, and ready for the public domain, the creator should cut the umbilical cord and move forward. I rarely watch films or listen to the songs I have done, but this is an exception. I heard the songs of Namastey Rome after a few months of the recording. I had forgotten about them, but [ listening to them] was a pleasant surprise. I must congratulate Himesh, with whom I had done Namastey London. The music of that film had become popular, but the music of Namastey Rome is of another level."
