The latest song from Salman Khan’s upcoming film Bharat is a peppy but melancholy number titled ‘Turpeya’.
Watch the song here:
The song sequence shows Salman as a sailor in the Indian navy who is stationed on foreign shores. In between bhangra steps, Salman’s character recalls his life as a young boy in India and dreams of the love he left behind – in this case, Katrina Kaif. He also attends a church wedding where he pictures Katrina in a white wedding dress, only to have her disappear before his eyes. The song also features a performance by Nora Fatehi.
‘Turpeya’ has been performed by Vishal and Shekhar and Sukhwinder Singh and penned by Irshad Kamil.
Bharat is a remake of award-winning South Korean film Ode to My Father, which is one of the country’s highest-grossing films. The film spans about 50 years and traces the history of India through Salman Khan's character. The actor dons various avatars through the film, including that of a stuntman, miner and naval officer, and Katrina Kaif and Disha Patani play his love interests. The film also stars Tabu, Jackie Shroff, Disha Patani and Sunil Grover. It releases in theatres on 5 June.
