Singer Altaf Raja, who is making his comeback with the song titled "Jholuraam" in Emraan Hashmi starrer "Ghanchakkar", says the actor has ability to make things successful.

Altaf has shot a quirky music video with Emraan for "Jholuraam". Praising the actor, he said: "Whatever Emraan touches, it turns gold."

Emraan has chartbusters "Soniyo", "Pee Loon", "Tum mile", "Aashiq banaya aapne" and "Ishq sufiyana" among others to his credit.

Altaf added: "He has so many hit songs to his credit. He is one star who probably has the most number of hit songs picturised on him in the past five years. I'm sure that people will love the fun moments... the song will become a hit. Watch out for it."

"Jholuraam" describes Emraan's character in "Ghanchakkar", coming out June 28.

Emraan, who is quite excited about Altaf singing for him for the first time, said it is a "huge draw" to have Altaf sing Jholuraam for them.

"He has been the voice of the masses. When he sang 'Pardesi', the nation sang the song with him and it is fantastic that he is singing for 'Ghanchakkar'. The song is super fun and quirky. I'm looking forward to the reaction from the people."

Produced by UTV Motion Pictures, "Ghanchakkar" will see Emraan with Vidya Balan.
