'Tiger 3': Salman-Katrina's 'Leke Prabhu Ka Naam' out now!
What's the story
The wait is over! The first song from Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, and Emraan Hashmi starrer Tiger 3, Leke Prabhu Ka Naam, is out. Sung by Arijit Singh and Nikhita Gandhi, it has been composed by Pritam with lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya. Notably, this is the first number Singh has crooned for Khan. Tiger 3 is heading toward a theatrical release on November 12.
Context
Why does this story matter?
The song is of utmost importance to Singh, who reportedly had a public fallout with Khan in 2014. The conflict emanated at an awards ceremony hosted by Khan. When Khan pointed out Singh's "casual clothing," Singh retorted, "Aap logo ne sula diya (You all made me sleepy)." Later, Singh publicly apologized, but his version of the song Jag Ghoomeya was eventually axed from Sultan.
