In an interview to PTI, music director Shekhar said, "It is a marketing idea for the movie by Yash Raj Films. I think it is a phenomenal idea that the song goes across in different languages. The stars of those languages are singing the versions. This is beautiful and has given a new definition to the song."
Vishal-Shekhar have composed 'Jabra Fan', which is a promotional track for the upcoming Maneesh Sharma directed venture.
Shekhar revealed the Bhojpuri version is his favourite. "I have been tipping on it. I love it. It is amazing how all these people have come together for the song and were happy to record the different versions."
The official trailer for the movie will arrive on February 29, while the drama is set to hit theatres on April 15.
