Salman Khan’s ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ to be banned in Pakistan?

Originally sung by Vishal Dadlani and Neha Bhasin, the song is replaced by Arabic singers Rabih Baroud and Brigitte Yaghi. The song is composed by Vishal and Shekhar and written by Irshad Kamil.

Speaking about this Arabic version, director Ali Abbas Zafar said, "As the song is a chartbuster here in India and the film is shot in the Middle East and focuses on a major issue that affects the region, we were very keen to engage with audiences there. Dubbing the song in a local language is a way to connect with audiences in the Middle East, as Hindi films have huge appeal there, and Salman is the biggest superstar in the region,"Deccan Chronicles quoted the director.

The lyrics were translated by Mohammad Jad Malak, keeping in mind the message of brotherhood and peace in the world. The movie is all set to hit the theatres worldwide on December 22.
