Mumbai: Makers of ‘Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar’ unveiled ‘Azadi’ song on Monday.
Featuring a star-studded cast including Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Manisha Koirala, Sharmin Segal, and Sanjeeda Shaikh, ‘Azadi’ track promises to be a poignant tribute to India’s unsung heroes–the freedom fighters who dedicated their lives to the nation’s independence struggle.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali brings his signature grandeur, opulent sets, breath-taking costumes, and top notch composition to ‘Azadi’ with heart touching and goosebump- worthy lyrics by A M Turaz. The musical prowess of “Azadi” is further accentuated by the stellar vocal performances of Archana Gore, Pragati Joshi, Arohi, Aditi Paul, Tarannum, and Aditi Prabhudesai.
Here’s the link for the song.
Set against the backdrop of the Indian freedom struggle of the 1940s, ‘Heeramandi’ promises to be an epic saga of love, power, revenge, and freedom. It will start streaming on Netflix from May 1.
