Mumbai, Mar 4 (IBNS) Three Bollywood playback queens join hands for a song for an upcoming movie 'Saavi A Bonded Bride' which is based on the social issues of women that still exist in Muslim Gujjar community in areas of Himachal Pradesh.

The title of this song is 'Kar Hausla' is composed by Ravi Sheen. Shalmali said, "It was my first time working with Ravi Sheen. I must say we enjoyed it thoroughly. I was made to feel completely at ease from the very beginning. Everyone releated the film in the room, already had lot of faith in me which made me feel doubly confident about doing justice to the song. Ravi ji spent time explaining the essence of the song to me and i'm proud that i was part of this project as it deals with a very sensitive issue of Barter of Women."

Music director Ravi said, "I really enjoyed making this track Kar Hausla, i feel proud that its sung by these talented and star singers Shalmali, Neeti & Hard Kaur. They have given soul to my Lyrics and Composition. I would thank Producer Bhannu Sharma for giving me this opportunity."

The film is produced by Bhanu Sharma (Sahaj production) and is helmed by the national award winning director Rajeev Kumar.
