“A singer in the Indian Idol singing exactly like Mohammad Rafi”
What FACTLY found
This video contains two different types of clips. One is the actual footage from the Indian Idol show, and the other is footage of a boy named Md Shanu lip-synching to the original audio of the song ‘Yeh Duniya Yeh Mehfil ’ sung by Mohammed Rafi. Shanu did not perform this on the Indian Idol Stage, his footage is cross cut to the reaction shots of the judges and contestants sitting in the gallery to create an illusion that this is an actual Indian Idol performance
