One of the highpoints of Nikhil Advani's contemporary remake of Subhash Ghai's 1983 romantic drama, Hero, is a ballet featuring lead jodi, Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty.

The number, the film's finale, visualises their entire life flashing before their eyes. And it's none other than the film's producer Salman Khan who will lend his voice to the song, O khuda, along with Palak Muchhal.

"Nikhil's brief to me was that it's a song about two lovers against the world. So we have lots of cellos, violins and larger-than-life flashbacks. The fact that Sooraj is lip-syncing to Salman's voice makes the song really big and parts of it will be used in the background score through the lovers' journey," reveals the film's young composer, Amaal Malik, adding that the song reflects the film's essence, which is entirely different from that of the original.

The song has been filmed and now the unit is eagerly waiting for Salman to record it.

MEANWHILE...

SEXY JACQUELINE TO SEDUCE SOORAJ

Jacqueline Fernandez had earlier told Mirror (March 7) that she would never think twice about doing anything for her Kick co-star. And when Salman Khan asked the actress it she would do a special song in his debut production, she immediately agreed.

"Jacqueline will be seen swinging to a Himesh Reshammiya composition which she will shoot for in May," a source close to her told Mirror. "It's a wild, sexy number in which she will try to seduce Sooraj."
