Shayad, the first song from director Imtiaz Ali's upcoming film, Love Aaj Kal, has been released. The track highlights actors Sara Ali Khan and Kartik Aaryan playing modern-day lovers, while actor Arushi Sharma includes in a substitute course of events.

The song has been made by Pritam, with lyrics by Irshad Kamil and vocals by Arijit Singh. Imtiaz's movies are known for their solid soundtracks, and the producer has recently worked with Oscar-winner AR Rahman, in movies, for example, Rockstar and Highway.

The Shayad video includes the characters in an assortment of feelings. While a few scenes seem, by all accounts, to be progressively carefree in tone, others are obviously intended to be increasingly genuine. Talking about throwing Sara in the film, Imtiaz said in an announcement, "Sara has extraordinary emotional intelligence. Her look, voice, diction, and overall poise are all impeccable – making her an extremely gifted actor. Also, she is completely accessible and remarkably quick to understand. She has all it takes to change the mold of the conventional Indian heroine. I had the greatest time working with her and hope to work with her again and again. She is the perfect choice for Zoe in Love Aaj Kal."

Love Aaj Kal was at first guessed to be a successor to the directors' 2009 romantic-comedy by a similar name. The first film featured Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone in lead roles. Saif was slightly crucial about the new film's trailer, echoing the online sentiment. In a video meeting to Indian Express, he stated, "I don't know why I still remember shooting for Love Aaj Kal. I saw the trailer, and obviously, I wish them all the best. I wish Sara the best for everything she does because she is my daughter. I kind of like my film's trailer more. What to say, but I wish them all the best."
