Singer Sukhbir collaborated with Salman Khan for their song Billi Billi Akh from Khan’s upcoming film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. In a recent media interaction, the singer revealed that it was Khan who came up with the idea for a wedding song and shared the same with Sukhbir while the two were in Abu Dhabi.
Billi Billi Akh is composed by Vicky Sandhu who's also written Punjabi lyrics, the song features Sukhbir himself along with the entire cast of the movie, Khan, Pooja Hegde, Shehnaaz Gill and Palak Tiwari.
Talking about how the song came into being, Sukhbir said, "I met Salman Khan in Abu Dhabi where he had requested a wedding/celebration song for his upcoming movie and that's when I sent him a couple of options. He loved all of them but especially fell in love with 'Billi Billi Akh' which was a Punjabi song and lyrics and that's how we started working on this Hindi version which was written by lyricist Kumaar and the music has been produced by DJ Dips and Supernova."
Talking about his experience during the shoot with Salman Khan, the singer added, "My experience has been nothing short of simply amazing. I did not expect Salman Khan to be so hands-on when it came to every detail, he would call me to discuss lyrics and the musical bits, ask me to edit certain parts so that they make sense to the visuals of the song, and the best part was shooting of the video which was done in Mumbai".
"He made sure everyone was looked after and I particularly enjoyed meal times with him as it gave us an opportunity to have one on one sessions to discuss the movie amidst many jokes", he added.
Directed by Farhad Samji, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan will release in Eid.
