The International Film Festival of India recently paid homage to Rafi, who is celebrated for his vast contribution to Indian cinema, having sung for over 1,000 films. Notably, discussions are ongoing with director Umesh Shukla, known for his works like 'OMG - Oh My God!' and '102 Not Out', to helm the project.
