Filmmaker
Vishal
Bhardwaj,
who
has
roped
in
rapper-singer
Honey
Singh
to
sing
a
song
for
his
forthcoming
production
venture
Dedh
Ishqiya,
says
he
didn't
sign
the
singer
for
monetary
gains.
Written
by
lyricist
Gulzar,
the
song
has
been
picturised
on
Arshad
Warsi's
character
Babban
in
the
film
helmed
by
Abhishek
Chaubey.
Singer
Sukhwinder
went
behind
the
mic
with
Honey
Singh
for
the
song.
"As
a
producer
and
director
(Chaubey),
it
is
our
choice.
Nobody
has
forced
us
to
sign
Honey
Singh
for
the
song," Bhardwaj
said
here
at
the
music
launch
of
the
film
and
added
that
he
doesn't
need
"any
singer
for
any
monetary
thing".
Considering
the
theme
of
the
film
and
the
kind
of
music
that
Honey
Singh
is
known
for,
the
two
don't
blend
together.
But
Bhardwaj,
who
has
composed
music
for
the
film,
describes
the
song
as
a
heady
cocktail.
"I
think
the
contrast
of
Yo
Yo
Honey
Singh,
my
music
and
Gulzar
saab's
lyrics
can
be
a
very
good
cocktail
for
the
film,"
he
said
adding
that
the
song
will
come
out
soon.
