Imtiaz Ali and A.R. Rahman are taking their next musical collaboration straight to the border. The Oscar-winning composer is set to headline a live tribute concert at the Attari Border on Sunday, June 7, honoring the Border Security Force (BSF).
Titled “Jai Ho — A Tribute to the Bravehearts,” the performance is scheduled to take place during the traditional parade ceremony between 4:30 PM and 5:30 PM. The concert is a major promotional push for Ali’s upcoming 1947 partition-era drama Main Vaapas Aaunga, according to a detailed report by PTI outlining the event timing and cast presence.
Rahman will not be alone at the JCP Stadium. He will be joined by the film’s director, lead actor Vedang Raina, and playback singers Mohit Chauhan, Pooja Tiwari, and Nargis. Producers from Birla Studios and Applause Entertainment are also slated to attend. Billed as a story of love and longing, the ensemble film features Diljit Dosanjh, Sharvari Wagh, Vedang Raina, and Naseeruddin Shah.
Fans of Bollywood soundtracks have been tracking this project closely because it marks a highly anticipated reunion. Ali, Rahman, and lyricist Irshad Kamil are working together again, a celebrated trio known for critically acclaimed albums like Rockstar, Tamasha, and Amar Singh Chamkila, as noted in a feature from the Deccan Herald confirming the reunion and the theatrical release date. Main Vaapas Aaunga hits theaters on June 12.
