Late singer KK's last song to be released soon, assures filmmaker Srijit Mukherjee

As the nation is mourning the loss of legendary singer KK, filmmaker Srijit Mukherji has revealed that his last-recorded song will be released soon.

In an interview with India Today, Srijit mentioned that KK voiced a song for his film, titled 'Sherdil: The Pilibhit Saga,' which would possibly be his last song for a movie. 'The song is very special. It’s written by Gulzar saab and sung by KK. And it is possibly going to be his last song for a film at least,' he said.

'Gulzar saab is so fond of him and that collaboration has come out so well. I am dying to release and share the song. It will be out soon,' he added.

In April 2022, KK shared a post on his Instagram handle, featuring lyricist Gulzar and the filmmaker, announcing the news.

This song marked Srijit and KK's first collaboration.

Recalling his first meeting with the singer, the filmmaker told India Today that KK's voice had been with him through many ups and downs in life and he was friends with his vocals for a very long time.

Srijit, who is still in a 'state of partial shock' over the news, further added that KK's 'singing did all the talking' and an artist is measured by the impact of his songs.

'Today, almost every message on my timeline is about KK. The last time it happened was when Irrfan passed away. That’s how artists touch your life,' Srijit told India Today.
