‘Bharat’: Ali Abbas Zafar makes his debut as a composer-lyricist in this Salman Khan starrer

Ali Abbas Zafar is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film ‘Bharat’ which stars Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles. ‘Bharat’s trailer and songs are already being loved by the audience and the film’s anthem ‘Zinda’ is composed and written by none other than the director himself! Ali is definitely a man of many talents.

Ali has directed several films, but this is the first time when he will be using one of his poems in his film. Confirming the news, Ali told Mumbai Mirror, “It was originally a poem which I had written while scripting the film.” The song is crooned by Vishal Dadlani and has been set to the tune by Julius Packiam, who has even composed the film’s background score.

Interestingly, Salman doesn’t know about this side of Ali yet. “Bhai doesn’t know yet, we don’t share these small details, he knows  I keep doing something or the other. But this time I think he will be surprised. Of course, he will pull my leg saying, ‘So now, you have started writing songs too, now you will ask for an extra cheque.’ That’s the kind of bond we share,” shared Ali.

Ali also revealed that ‘Zinda’ is an uplifting track that plays during the most vulnerable moments in Bharat’s (Salman) life. Well, the song does sound very charged up if you remember hearing it in the trailer’s background. The makers of the film are planning to unveil ‘Zinda’ very soon.

We are looking forward to watching this highly anticipated film that will hit the silver screens on June 5.
