While the controversy over Pathaan’s first song ‘Besharam Rang’ is still raging, the makers have launched another song titled ‘Jhoome Jo Pathaan’. Sung by Arijit Singh and Sukriti, the number is composed by Vishal-Sheykhar with lyrics by Kumaar.
The music video features Deepika and Shah Rukh in a scenic European location. This time, Shah Rukh is also shaking a leg alongside Deepika. While SRK is seen wearing brown and green baggy clothes, Deepika is mostly seen in blue and white outfits. The song is a Qawwali infused with peppy beats.
In an earlier statement, Pathaan director Siddharth Anand had shared that the second number from the film is said to be a tribute to the character of Pathaan himself.
“Jhoome Jo Pathaan is an ode to the spirit of Pathaan, played by the inimitable Shah Rukh Khan. The song embodies the personality traits of this super spy Pathaan who has an irresistible swagger that is infectious. His energy, his vibe, his confidence can make anyone dance to tunes. The song is modern fusion Qawaali and is a celebration of Pathaan’s style and panache. It has been a while since we have seen SRK groove to music and we are hoping that people will love seeing their favourite superstar shake a leg with an attitude to kill for,” the director had said.
Shah Rukh and co-star Deepika Padukone are in the line of fire by right-wing outfits over the film’s first song Besharam Rang. Deepika is seen wearing an orange bikini in the song and that seems to have irked people’s sentiments. A boycott campaign against the film and its leads is ongoing on Twitter.
