Hyderabad: Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan is one of the most-awaited films of 2023 across the country. Directed by Atlee, the film has Nayanthara, Priyamani, Vijay Sethupathi and others in key roles. The makers of the film released the first song titled Zinda Banda and thanked legendary Urdu poet Wasim Barelvi for allowing them to use one of his couplets in the Hindi version.
Composed by Anirudh Ravichander, the song has been released in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. Shah Rukh shared the track in all three languages on Twitter and wrote, “Presenting #ZindaBanda!”
The speciality of the song is that it was shot over five days in Chennai, with over 1,000 female dancers flown in from Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Madurai and Mumbai. The makers spent a whopping Rs 15 crore on this song. The song looks rich in production and is as massive as any other South Indian movie song with a star actor.
“I thank Wasim Barelvi sahab with all my heart for letting us use this beautiful couplet with a minor change. The song is written by Irshad Kamil sir, and the music is by my dear friend Anirudh,” Shah Rukh said in a statement.
Anirudh, who is known for chartbuster tracks such as Vaathi Coming and Arabic Kuthu among others, said Zinda Banda holds a special place in his heart and he aimed to do justice to Shah Rukh’s stardom.
He said, “It’s also my first time composing for Shah Rukh Khan who is synonymous with featuring in iconic songs of our generation and I was determined to do justice to his stardom. Working with such a talented cast and crew was truly amazing, witnessing their dedication and hard work in mounting this song on such a grand scale has been inspiring.”
