The Unexpected Showstopper: A Little Girl Named Saba

While the video’s production values are undoubtedly impressive, the real heart of “Blockbuster” lies in the unexpected contribution of a young girl named Saba. Producer Xulfi, known for his innovative ideas, shared the captivating story behind her inclusion. During a rehearsal session, the Gharwi Group arrived with Saba, who was minding her little brother. Her presence and the way she soothed her brother with her voice caught Xulfi’s attention. 

Xulfi decided to bring her into the recording studio, where she instantly impressed the Coke Studio team with her confidence and flawless delivery. After some nurturing and encouragement, Saba was integrated into the song, where her captivating voice and poise made her the undeniable showstopper.
