Vocal talents featured are that of Shilpa Rao (English Vinglish – Title Track), Monali Thakur (‘Khwab Dekhe/Sexy lady’ and ‘Zara Zara Touch Me’ – Race), Swanand Kirkire (‘Raat Hamari Toh’ – Parineeta), Mohan Kanan (‘Yaariyan’ – Cocktail) with Amit Trivedi (Aisha – Title Track) and Amitabh Bhattacharya (‘Iktara’ – Wake Up Sid). Selected tracks also feature the Chennai String Orchestra.
Lootera hits the silver screens 5 July 2013.
Ankahee could not have been a better track to commence the album. It is the album’s once-upon-a-time and tells of a untold story. Amitabh Bhattacharya beautifully renders the equally well written track.

Amol has extracted exceptional performances from his female actors including Deepti Naval in Ankahee, Anita Kanwar in Thodasa Roomani Ho Jayen and Rani Mukherjee in Paheli. Manisha expected the prolific Palekar to offer her yet another opportunity to relive her golden days of Khamoshi The Musical, Bombay and Dil Se. But to her dismay the role in Palekar's film was just a cameo. "I'd have loved to work with Amolji. It was an interesting character, that of a Buddhist monk.
