Singer Adnan Sami, who has sung a qawwali for Salman Khan-starrer Bajrangi Bhaijaan, also features in the track.
The song Bhar do jholi meri — written by Kausar Munir — was shot at a dargah and also has snapshots of the actor.
The new number was launched on Thursday at an event in Mumbai in the presence of Bajrangi Bhaijaan director Kabir Khan and some other prominent members of the film.
“It’s a special track for us. It’s mine as well as Salman’s favourite song from the film,” Kabir said.
The song is an adaptation of a qawwali sung by the Sabri Brothers.
“It’s a well known qawwali made famous by the Sabri Brothers. And when we were looking for an apt song for a particular situation in the film, we looked for a song having an air of authenticity with it ... a song which had moved people over the decades,” Kabir said.
Bhar do jholi meri is a new rendition of this famous Qawwali.
“We wanted Adnan Sami to not just sing it but also wanted to have it picturised on him. It’s an extremely moving song and that was the basic motive behind it,” the director said.
