Race 3 song Selfish: How Salman Khan's 'thoughts' were used as actual lyrics

An actor, a producer, a singer - Salman Khan proudly dons many hats! Adding another feather, the superstar turned lyricist for his upcoming co-production and starrer Race 3. Sure he has crooned songs before, but it is his debut as a lyricist may we call it so. After an enticing number 'Heeriye', makers of the action thriller are ready to roll out the second song from the entertainer 'Selfish'

The lyrics of the track are the brain child of Salman, precisely his thoughts. Salman said in a statement, "While discussing the creative for the song, I penned down a few thoughts on paper in sync with the plot of the film, which is about the selfishness within the family. When the music director Vishal Mishra heard it, he got extremely excited and said he will come back with a tune for the same. I said, 'But this is a part of a conversation and not lyrics'.

"However, he insisted to use the thoughts as it is for the song. Everyone loved the thoughts and wanted it to be used for the song."

Featuring Salman, Jacqueline Fernandez, Bobby Deol and Daisy Shah, 'Selfish' is a romantic song. Pakistani singer Atif Aslam has helmed the vocals, who has delivered 'Pehli Nazar' and 'Beintehaan' for the earlier installments of the Race franchise. The song will be released on Friday.

Race 3, directed by Remo D'souza, will release on Eid this year. Produced by Salman Khan Films and Ramesh Taurani under the banner of Tips Films, it also features Anil Kapoor and Saqib Saleem. The much-awaited project will be Salman's Eid offering to his fans, and will arrive in cinemas on June 15, 2018.
