Madhubanti Bagchi calls singing ‘Tu Mil Jaaye’ for Shah Rukh Khan’s King a ‘dream run’
Madhubanti Bagchi has described her experience of singing ‘Tu Mil Jaaye’, the first song from Shah Rukh Khan-starrer King, as a “dream run”. Featuring the voices of Madhubanti, Arijit Singh and Ed Sheeran, the track was released on November 2 and has been receiving attention from listeners. In an interview with Variety India, the singer opened up about being part of the project, her experience of working with the musicians and her admiration for Shah Rukh Khan.
For Madhubanti, the opportunity held a special place as she had grown up watching Shah Rukh Khan and listening to the songs from his films. Recalling her reaction when she learnt that ‘Tu Mil Jaaye’ would feature the superstar on screen, she said, “Honestly, this feels like a dream run. I grew up watching Shah Rukh Khan, and his films and songs have been such a big part of my childhood. So, when I first learnt that ‘Tu Mil Jaaye’ was going to be filmed on Shah Rukh Khan, I was genuinely overjoyed.”
The singer further described having her voice featured in a song picturised on an actor she had admired since childhood as an “incredibly special feeling”.
Madhubanti also spoke about reuniting with Arijit Singh after their previous collaborations on Bengali songs such as ‘Egiye De’ and ‘Jebhabe Jalabi Jwalbo’. She said that working with Arijit had always been “incredible”. She also acknowledged Ed Sheeran’s contribution, describing him as “a very special addition to this collaboration” who brought a new tone to the track.
“The millennial in me wants to run on the streets screaming, but I’m somehow holding myself back! I think it’s one of those magical collaborations that come together at just the right moment, and I’m genuinely grateful to be a part of it,” Madhubanti added.
The singer is also preparing for her This Is Who We Are India tour, which is scheduled to begin on November 14. Speaking about the possibility of sharing the stage with Arijit, she expressed her wish to have him join her during the tour to perform ‘Tu Mil Jaaye’ as well as some of their Bengali duet songs.
‘Tu Mil Jaaye’ marks the first song released from King and features Shah Rukh Khan alongside Deepika Padukone. The film reunites the actors after their appearance together in Atlee’s Jawan.
Directed by Siddharth Anand, the film also features Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Arshad Warsi and Abhay Verma in important roles.
