Karan Johar gifts a song for Salman Khan’s Hero

Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar shares a good equation with superstar Salman Khan. The Khan recently released an emotional number ‘Yaadaan Teriyaan’ from his upcoming production ‘Hero’, that marks the debut of two star kids Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty. Not many know that this emotional number was gifted to Salman Khan by good friend Karan Johar.

Amar Butala CCO, Salman Khan Films confirming the news said, “We were looking high and low for a slow separation song but weren’t finding it. A couple of months ago Nikhil (Advani, director) and I were talking about it in Karan’s office. That’s when Karan said he had a song which he wouldn’t be using in the immediate use and offered it to us. He asked us to listen to it. When we heard we fell in love with it. And when Salman heard it he recommended that we get Rahat Fateh Ali to sing it.”

Amar further added that, “The song comes at a point when Athiya and Sooraj are separated. Athiya is sent to Paris while Sooraj is in jail. The love story goes south towards the second the half and the song captures their anguish. They reminisce about their time together and the hope of getting married.”

Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty starrer ‘Hero’ is all set to release on September 11.
