This helped me get into the right mood. It was a lengthy song but we completed the whole shoot in 2 days. Sukhwinder ji came on the sets & congratulated the whole team & boosted me to always smile no matter what. The song “Parinde” will inspire everyone to be alive once again. Omkar Minhas has composed the song. Rakesh Sabharwal is the in Line producer of this film which is releasing on 26th Oct, 2018 all Over.
