Vedang Raina Finds a Spot Next to Alia Bhatt and Diljit in Imtiaz’s Music Circle!

Imtiaz Ali has officially welcomed Vedang Raina into a very exclusive circle. Following the release of Maskara from Main Vaapas Aaunga, the filmmaker praised the young star on Instagram, calling him the “third actor to playback” in one of his films after Alia Bhatt and Diljit Dosanjh.

Sharing a clip from the song, Imtiaz referred to Vedang as “the ultimate rockstar,” while also tagging music maestro A. R. Rahman, who has composed the soundtrack for the film. The shoutout instantly grabbed fans’ attention, with many calling it a major moment in Vedang’s rapidly rising career.

Set against the backdrop of love, longing and Partition-era emotions, Main Vaapas Aaunga stars Diljit Dosanjh, Vedang Raina, Sharvari and Naseeruddin Shah in pivotal roles. Directed by Imtiaz Ali and backed by A. R. Rahman’s music, the film has already generated strong buzz for its sweeping romance and emotional storytelling. The film is currently slated for a theatrical release on June 12, 2026.

But one of the biggest talking points right now is Vedang’s transformation. Known for his effortless screen presence and understated charm, the actor is now stepping into a completely new avatar, not only as an actor but also as a playback singer. With Maskara offering audiences a glimpse of this side of him, fans are especially thrilled to see what he brings to the film musically and emotionally.

Imtiaz’s post also teased another hidden talent from the cast, hinting that Sharvari could be “up next” when it comes to playback singing. For now though, the spotlight firmly belongs to Vedang, the newest entrant in Imtiaz Ali’s rare and celebrated playback club.
