TIL Desk Bollywood/ Somehow, the Pakistani element has almost invariably crept into the music of Salman Khan’s films, whether it was Atif Aslam’s song Dil Diya Gallan in Tiger Zinda Hai or Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s number Jag Ghoomiya in Sultan.
After the Pulwama massacre on February 14, dozens of tweets warned Salman that if Pakistani talent were included in Bharat, they would not watch the film. Acting swiftly, Salman has donated a substantial sum to the martyrs’s fund. Songs sung by Pakistani singers are being removed from Bharat.”Salman knows this time he can’t ignore the demand to ban Pakistani singers,” a source close to the development reveals.
“He seems to think the voices of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Atif Aslam suit him. And while that may be true, to cling stubbornly to this would damage Salman’s reputation severely. That is a risk he is not willing to take.” Information filtering out of Salman’s camp suggest that the tracks recorded with Pakistani singers for Bharat will be dropped from the film.
