Veteran lyricist Mehboob Kotwal began burning the midnight oil as soon as AR Rahman came knocking at his door with a project. “He called and said that someone wanted to speak with me, and Ahmed Khan was on the line,” says Kotwal of the events that led to his appointment to Heropanti 2 with the team that worked on the acclaimed 1995 film, Rangeela.
