Music composer A R Rahman and actor Shah Rukh Khan recently shot for the video of the official song of the upcoming Men’s Hockey World Cup scheduled to be played at Kalinga Stadium in Odisha capital from November 28 to December 16.
What makes even more interesting is that Rahman has directed Shah Rukh in the video.
According to a report published by SportStarLive, the song, titled Jai Hind, Hind, Jai India, showcases the ‘new India’ and features hockey footages — from grassroots to the elite — from the country.
Rahman has collaborated with Gulzar to create this song, which has been composed to inspire and create a buzz among Indians ahead of the World Cup. It will be released alongside its accompanied video by October-end when the Indian hockey team returns from Asian Champions Trophy in Muscat, the report added.
“My team and I shot this music video after nearly two decades of having created ‘Vande mataram’. ‘Jai India’ has given me the privilege of singing in India’s honour as we get ready to host the Hockey World Cup in Odisha next month,” Rahman said, adding that while he and Gulzar were extremely excited about the project, having Shah Rukh in it made it even more interesting.
Rahman will also perform it live during the opening ceremony on November 27.
