Mantoiyat by Raftaar created a massive buzz and was loved by the audience when it came out in Nawazuddin Siddiqui's film Manto. The song soon went viral and Raftaar, too, couldn't believe the impact it had on everyone who heard it. 

The song, however, was caught up in a controversy that Raftaar didn't expect. He was accused of copying the song from a Korean artist. In a recent chat with Neha Dhupia on her audio chat show No Filter Neha, Raftaar opened up about the issue. He said, "See, I was given this song 'Mantoiyat'. The lyrics were good, everything was good. We didn't want a song which is a hit, we wanted a song which was hard-hitting. And I could deliver it."
