It is said that Yash Chopra once said that the notion in the industry is that Khayyam is unlucky. This was after Khayyam had already composed music for YRF's Kabhie Kabhie. The songs from the movie, like Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Mein, went on to become huge hits, changing the game for Khayyam forever. Khayyam reached the peak of his career with his award-winning music composition for Muzaffar Ali's Umrao Jaan, which starred Rekha.
