Mumbai: There are tracks that are meant to soothe your soul and make you feel calmer, and Mashhoor Hai Tu from Zareen Khan starrer Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele is just one of those songs. The song is now out for one and all to enjoy. ‘Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele’, a film aimed at challenging the social prejudices and the stigma attached to homosexuality in India in a light, humorous manner.
Set in the picturesque locales of Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh, the soft love ballad is sung by Adil Rasheed, who lends an earthy albeit romantic character to the entire track, and has been composed by Oni-Adil while the mesmerising lyrics have been penned by Saurabh Negi.
Speaking on the song, actor Zareen Khan says that, “Mashhoor Hai Tu is one of my all time favourite tracks. The amalgamation of the composition by Oni-Adil and the vocals by
Adil alongside the sweet lyrics, make it such a pleasure to listen to, one can do so on repeat! It was a pleasure to shoot this track in the beautiful and serene location of Dharamshala, the ethos of which matches the song to perfection. I am looking forward to the OTT release on May 9 and also to do the reaction to Mashhoor Hai tu.”
