Musician Uses AI To Recreate Coke Studio Song Blockbuster With Mohammed Rafi’s Voice
Created by musician Anshuman Sharma, the video features singer Aditya Kalway performing a blockbuster song in a nostalgic 70s style which is then transformed into Rafi’s iconic voice by using AI. To enhance the experience, the video uses the footage from veteran actor Dharmendra’s classic track Main Jat Yamla Pagla Deewana, sung by Rafi. Here, Rafi’s AI-generated vocals are synchronised with Dharmendra’s video creating a mesmerising vintage charm.
Naturally, the video became a viral hit, capturing the attention of Zulfiqar Jabbar Khan, also known as Xulfi, the producer of Blockbuster. He shared his excitement, saying, “Saw this in the afternoon. Just wanted to be mentally free to comment on something this precious. What a time to be alive. Even the unseen dreams are now possible. Never did I ever imagine that I’ll be able to hear Mohd Rafi sing the melody and words that we wrote. It’s truly magic. You guys are magic Anshuman Sharma Aditya Kalway. It’s INCREDIBLY done! Hearing it this way is an unseen dream come true. Thank you dosto Shukriya for making my day and more.”
The praise didn’t stop there, social media users flooded the comment section with their admiration.
