Two decades after he gave pop music listeners evergreen tracks like Bhool ja and Tanha dil, Shaan, in a way, is handing over the baton to the next generation. Lending his support to débutante singer Mustafa for Main Sach Bolda, Shaan, 47, is seen channelling his inner 20-year old in the party track. "I can give them a run for their money," he jokes in a conversation with mid-day, adding that it was at a friend's behest that he agreed to be part of this song and encourage the younger breed.

"It had English rap originally, but we replaced it with Punjabi lyrics because the makers felt it suited the current flavour. I collaborated with Mustafa because his voice is contemporary. Sometimes, even good singers have a dated style of singing. But he has a voice that's suited for today's audience," says Shaan.
