BollywoodMDB reported our readers earlier that superstar Salman Khan is set to debut as a singer in Marathi cinema. Salman agreed to take this new venture up for his friend Mahesh Manjrekar . Salman and Manjrekar have worked together in blockbuster films like Wanted (2009) and Dabangg (2010). Salman loved the song and could record it in just 45 minutes!

In a media interaction, Music director Vishal Mishra confirmed the news and said, "Salman fell in love with the song and the way it was recreated. I had the privilege to record it in his voice and he rendered it so well that it gave an all-new dimension to the song. It has now turned out to be the highlight of the film."

He added, "Salman's grasping power is great. I was amazed when he completed the recording of the song, Gachi, in 45 minutes flat."

Talking about the auto tune factor that is used to fine tune the songs, the music director stated, "Auto-tune is used in almost all songs these days because it enhances pitch accuracy. I have composed 16 songs for FU and used auto-tuner in each of them. In Salman's case, we used it to enhance the edge. Had another singer sung it, I would have used the technology even then. But Salman was the best choice for it."

He further revealed, "I was happy post-dubbing with Salman, but Maheshji felt the Marathi words sounded wrong and asked me to dub it once more. I approached Salman and he gracefully agreed to re-record the song."

On the Bollywood front, Salman Khan is gearing up for the release of Kabir Khan’s directorial Tubelight. The actor is also shooting for Ali Abbas Zafar’s Tiger Zinda Hai with Katrina Kaif .
