It was perhaps their work in the Kartik Aaryan-fronted film Satyaprem Ki Katha that the Meet Bros believed paved the way for their first collaboration with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “We worked on Gujarati tracks in the film, and perhaps that’s what they liked. They reached out for a Gujarati number to Punjabi composers, and that speaks volumes about the fact that our PM supports individuals regardless of their religion, creed, caste, or colour,” says Manmeet Singh of the duo, adding that they had to work on strict deadlines to bring Maadi to life.
