Zinda music to create history
 


 
Sanjay Dutt Sanjay Gupta's Zinda is to create history with the simultaneous music release of the film's album in India and Pakistan. It is going to happen for the very first time in both countries' history and the credit goes to the music bigwig of India T-Series and the mammoth Pakistani satellite channel 'Geo' (Geo Group) for this effort.

Sanjay Gupta, the producer-director of Zinda, is the first Bollywood man who has achieved this milestone to make Hindi cinema's presence happen legally in Pakistan - the land where Bollywood movies and music are simply loved to be with and the Hindi film stars are adored hugely.

Gupta's forthcoming outing Zinda's music would be released both in India and Pakistan simultaneously on 10th January jointly by T-Series and Geo Group. The music band Strings, who has composed and sung the title track of the movie, has been instrumental in making this initiative possible. The simultaneous release across both countries will be a step towards combating piracy issues and this will certainly bring a huge smile on the faces of Hindi music buffs.

"I think it's a great accomplishment with the simultaneous release of my film's music in Pakistan and India as it means taking a step forward in trying to bridge distance between our industries". He further added, "I do hope that this step would further pave way for other films as well, as this will definitely be a blow to piracy", Sanjay Gupta comments on this historic step.
