Former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal is currently one of the most talked about superstars in the whole wrestling community. This is because of his recent online exchange with the AEW President, Tony Khan, who questioned the narrative of Mahal receiving a world title match despite not winning most of his matches in the past year.

Jinder Mahal's Punjabi entrance music is also one of the reasons many fans get behind him. The song reflects his persona as The Modern Day Maharaja and makes him look like a million bucks as well. Well, that is precisely the whole point of entrance themes that it should suit the character and persona of a wrestler.

Moreover, Mahal's theme song, Sher, is also very popular among wrestling fans. The song was composed by the popular Pakistani rapper Ali Kaz. Kaz revealed how he collaborated with the legendary WWE musician Jim Johnston to create the new theme song for Jinder when his character was being reinvented.

Kaz recalled he got a mail from Johnston and later came up with the lyrics and vocals for the song, as the music was already composed by Jim. He completed writing the lyrics of Sher in just three hours.

The recording was completed the following day. Apart from revealing the story behind Jinder's new theme song, Ali Kaz showed respect for the former WWE Champion by praising him during his interview with The Express Tribune back in 2017.

“I think Jinder Mahal is very hardworking and talented wrestler. He has been trying to build an image for a very long time and I think finally he has proven his potential to the world…I have mad respect for him,” Ali Kaz said.
