Rahman, Gulzar create hope anthem

The Oscar-winning duo of AR Rahman and Gulzar, along with seven eminent singers, have come together to bring out a song touted as an anthem of hope and healing. The track, titled Meri Pukaar Suno was released recently.

The track, featuring the voices of Alka Yagnik, Shreya Ghoshal, KS Chithra, Sadhana Sargam, Shashaa Tirupati, Armaan Malik and Asees Kaur, is essentially a call from Maati Maa (Mother Earth) to her children to reunite, assuring them this too shall pass.

Talking about the song’s direction and composition, Rahman said, This time, this period of the pandemic, is an extraordinary phase in everyone’s life. There is so much uncertainty and pain, and yet, so much resilience and healing. Gulzarji and I wished to create a song of hope because we all need comfort and reassurance.

Meri Pukaar Suno’ is like Mother India singing to her children through her daughters. It’s to say that human beings have survived and thrived through different periods of time and that we’ll emerge through this bravely.
