Produced by Salman Khan Films, Bajrangi Bhaijaan is out in UK cinemas through Eros International this Eid, 17th July 2015.ДЄ version of this interview first appeared in The Asian Today newspaper, July issue.Singer Adnan Sami, who has sung a qawwali for Salman Khan-starrer Bajrangi Bhaijaan, also features in the track. The reasoning behind this decision was purely emotional and just for Salman. I felt it would have been an overkill and there was no real need for it. I was already doing so many of my own music videos. I just didnвЂ™t really want to get into those special appearances in movies. I was unapologetically romancing anyone in my own music videos. I was never conscious about my appearance. There are still a lot of singers who donвЂ™t like to appear in their music videos for whatever reason. I had no intentions of losing my weight until my Doctor told me that I had to as it was tremendously critical. I was extremely unapologetic about the way I looked. Did that give you a confidence boost to appear on screen for a movie? You remarkably lost weight a couple of years ago.

It was all just coming out because of the energy around the place. They have never allowed anyone to shoot there in the past and this was the first time that anyone filmed at the location.

We shot at an actual Dargah and the atmosphere there was extremely elevating. The other bargain was that I got to go to the most beautiful locations on earth to shoot for the song. My friendship and love with him and his family goes back so many years that it was different from my other songs. Salman Khan asked me this time and he said that he would love if it is picturised on me. ItвЂ™s very common for singers to get featured in songs and I have been asked many times but I just avoided it. I always consciously stayed away from it for some reason or the other. Why did you never appear in the songs you have sung for movies prior to Bajrangi Bhaijaan? However, singing one was a completely different ballgame. ItвЂ™s the first time I have sung a Qawalli even though I have studied them and even composed one. I was suddenly going into a genre that I hadnвЂ™t tackled before as a singer. I am happy with the way itвЂ™s been received now after the song is actually out.

I had messages on social media saying вЂњI havenвЂ™t heard the song but IвЂ™m a huge fan alreadyвЂќ (laughs). The kind of response that I have received is phenomenal. Salman Khan tweeted the first image of you featuring in the song which trended on Twitter even before the release of the promoвЂ¦ It was as much an unveiling for the media and fans as it was for me. I watched it with the media for the first time. I had heard the final song but hadnвЂ™t seen the promo that we launched before the event. You recently launched the music video of Bhar Do Jholi Meri with director Kabir Kabir at an event. In this interview,В Adnan Sami tells us all about the song, working with Salman Khan and much moreвЂ¦ The вЂLift KaradeyвЂ™ singer has sung a Qawalli, Bhar Do Jholi Meri, for the soundtrack and has also made his on-screen Bollywood debut with the Kabir Khan directorial coming to UK cinemas this Eid, 17 thВ July.
