Salman Khan has finally confirmed that Arijit Singh will be singing for him in Tiger 3 as the Bollywood superstar unveiled his and co-star Katrina Kaif’s first look from their highly anticipated movie’s debut song ‘Leke Prabhu Ka Naam’. Salman has revealed that the song will be released on October 23.
Sharing a still from the track ‘Leke Prabhu Ka Naam’, Salman wrote on X: “Pehle gaane ki pehli jhalak. Leke Prabhu Ka Naam! Oh haan, yeh hai Arijit Singh ka pehla gaana mere liye. Song out on 23rd Oct. Tiger 3 coming to theatres this Diwali, 12th Nov. Releasing in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.”
Salman Khan and Arijit Singh’s collaboration comes as a huge surprise for their fans as the duo had an ugly fight that happened during an award function in 2014. Salman Khan was hosting the event when Arijit Singh came on the stage to receive the award. “Tu hai winner (You’re the winner)?” Salman told Arijit, who was dressed rather casually. To this, the singer replied, “Aap logon ne sula diya (You all put me to sleep).” Following this, Arijit’s songs were removed from Salman’s films including Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Kick and Sultan. Salman was said to be upset with Arijit’s comment on his hosting skills.
In 2016, Arijit had issued a public apology to Salman, pleading him to retain his version of song in Sultan. The singer wrote in his post that he tried to apologise a number of times to Salman through text and mail but to no avail.
“…you (Salman) are mistaken about the fact that I insulted you.” About Sultan’s song, he wrote, “I have sung enough songs sir. But I want to retire with at least one song of you keeping in my library. Please do not take away this feeling.”
