Oscar-and Grammy-winning music maestro AR Rahman is set to perform at the Attari border to pay tribute to the BSF personnel who guard India's borders. The event is being organised by the team of director Imtiaz Ali's upcoming film Main Vaapas Aaunga and is being billed as a first-of-its-kind tribute performance.
Titled 'Jai Ho – A Tribute to the Bravehearts', the event will be held on Sunday between 4:30 pm and 5:30 pm during the parade ceremony at JCP Stadium at the Attari border in Punjab.
Rahman, a Padma Bhushan awardee and one of country’s most celebrated musicians, will be joined by Ali, actor Vedang Raina, and singers Mohit Chauhan, Pooja Tiwari and Nargis, who have contributed to the film's music.
Representatives of the film's producers — Birla Studios, Applause Entertainment and Mohit Choudhary — will also join the event. Billed as a charming story of love and longing, Main Vaapas Aaunga stars Diljit Dosanjh, Sharvari Wagh, Naseeruddin Shah and Vedang Raina.
The film also marks the reunion of the celebrated trio of Ali, Rahman and lyricist Irshad Kamil, who have previously collaborated on films such as Rockstar, Tamasha and Amar Singh Chamkila.
Main Vaapas Aaunga is scheduled to be released in theatres on June 12.
