"Wako Naam Fakir" is a song from the soundtrack of the 2019 film The Fakir of Venice. It was composed by Indian musician A. R. Rahman.[1][2]
A. R. Rahman says it was the director's idea to use the 15th-century Indian mystic poet Kabir's doha, "Had-Had Tape So Auliya", that made him greenlight the song. "Anand is an interesting filmmaker and I liked his ideas. Wako Naam Fakir is a soulful number. I have composed one track for the film as well," stated the singer-composer.[3]
The song was composed and sung by Rahman. "Wako Naam Fakir" is a doha of Sant Kabir. The song gives us a glimpse of its central characters' journey in the film.[4] The song was performed by Rahman, Arjun Chandy, Abhay Jodhpurkar.[1][5]
