Salman Khan’s special friend, Iulia Vantur seems to be seriously pursuing Hindi music. After recording a single with Himesh Reshammiya just four months ago, the Romanian actress is ready to unveil a song with actor-host Maniesh Paul. She has not only lent her voice to it, but will also shoot for a music video featuring her with Manish.

Produced by Sangeeta Manjrekar, the music video is being directed by composer Sachin Gupta. Gupta tells midday, “Maniesh has this hidden talent [as a singer] and you will realise that after listening to the song. Iulia’s voice has an amazing texture. She has sung beautifully. Both have done justice to my composition.” Gupta has earlier scored music for films like Mere Dad Ki Maruti (2013) and Yamla Pagla Deewana (2011). “I am returning with a single after five years and this album marks my debut as a music video director as well,” he adds.
