Earlier, this year in March Rohail Hyatt, during a Twitter exchange with a fan, revealed that he is stepping down as Coke Studio’s (CS) producer.

Rohail later in a twitter exchange suggested that Xulfi is the best option to replace him a s producer.

Thank you. Since Bilal worked alone at Velo, he might still do that again. There are many candidates for CS. Hopefully Coke will find someone who is excited about producing It. Xulfi is the best option IMO.

Hyatt joined Coke Studio in 2008 with its first season but stepped down after 6 seasons. He was later brought back for the 12th season in 2019, though it failed to impress audiences. Rohail also produced the latest Season 13, which had only twelve songs due to COVID-19 restrictions and lockdowns.
