Apart from acting in his sister Zoya Akhtar’s upcoming directorial venture “Dil Dhadakne Do,” Farhan Akhtar is also co-producing the film. The multi-talented star has now also recorded a song for the multi-starrer.
According to an insider close to the production, the lyrics of the track have been penned by Zoya and Farhan’s father and veteran writer Javed Akhtar. “Even though Farhan is currently busy shooting for Bejoy Nambiar’s next film, he has been making the time to visit the recording studio regularly. He has also been exchanging notes with Zoya on how the film’s sound track should shape up,” says the source.
Incidentally, for this song, this will be the third time that Farhan will team up with composer trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. He began his singing career with them in “Rock On” in 2008 and also worked with them for the number “Senorita” from Zoya’s second film, “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara” in 2011.
“Dil Dhadakne Do” is about a dysfunctional Punjabi family where Priyanka Chopra and Ranveer Singh will be playing siblings. The film will be shot extensively on a cruise liner exploring various interesting locations in Europe such as Spain, Turkey, Italy, France etc. “Dil Dhadakne Do” will also star Anushka Sharma and Anil Kapoor in prominent roles and is slated to release on June 5, 2015.
