Oscar-winning composer A R Rahman delivered a live performance at the Attari border post in Punjab, paying a musical tribute to the Border Security Force.
The event, titled 'Jai Ho - A Musical Salute to the Bravehearts', was held ahead of the release of filmmaker Imtiaz Ali's new film 'Main Vaapas Aaunga', a cross-border drama featuring Rahman's music.
Rahman performed his composition 'Chanda Suraj Lakhon Taare' and songs from 'Main Vaapas Aaunga', including 'Maskara' by Nilanjana Ghosh and Vedang Raina, and 'Ishq Mastana' by Mohit Chauhan alongside Pooja Tiwari and Nargis.
The event concluded with Rahman's celebrated composition 'Maa Tujhe Salaam', and was attended by Ali, Raina, and the film's producers.
The team dedicated the film's music album to the courage and sacrifice of the Indian armed forces personnel, and Ali described the performance as 'an ode to the national spirit'.
'Main Vaapas Aaunga' is set against the backdrop of the Partition of India and draws on stories of love and longing from that era, and is scheduled to be released in theatres on June 12.
