In the video, baring similarities to the scenes from Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire starring Dev Patel and Frieda Pinto, lead singer Nicole Scherzinger is seen walking around a train station, followed by a mystery man, while his bandmates record him.
While the song composed by Rahman, combines traditional Indian sounds with urban beats, Scherzinger has even written some additional lyrics herself, giving it a new twist.
"It’s such an honour to be able to collaborate with A.R. Rahman and be a part of the Slumdog Millionaire project in some way - I found the movie’s story and music very spirituality uplifting," the Sun quoted her as saying.
The film, which tracks the story of an 18-year-old slum boy from rags-to-riches, triumphed this year’s Oscars with 8 awards, including two for Rahman.
