Mumbai: Some of Bollywood`s biggest stars on Saturday released a free musical tribute to Michael Jackson to mark what would have been the late US star`s 51st birthday.The video, called "Make It Large -- A Tribute to Michael Jackson", features introductions from actors including Shahrukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra as well as Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh.
None of the stars charged for starring in the video, which fans can download from the website of Khan`s production company, Red Chillies Entertainment.
In it, Khan says of Jackson, who died suddenly in June, "We`ve lost a part of our history; some of us have lost a part of our growing up.
"Some people teach by their words, others by their lives. Thanks for being with us for ever."
Roshan adds: "We love you MJ. Your legend will never die."
The Hindi-language song, written by leading film composer Vishal Dadlani, is sung by top Indian stars like Shankar, Shaan, KK and Shreya Ghoshal as dancers perform Jackson`s trademark steps in the background.
One English lyric says of the "Thriller" star: "He was the sound of our music and our lives."
Jackson, dubbed "The King of Pop", played a sell-out gig in India`s entertainment capital Mumbai in 1996. Bollywood stars, film directors, choreographers and musicians have cited him as a major influence on their work.
He had been due to be buried on Saturday but is now to be interred on September 3, his family said last week.
Los Angeles coroners on Friday ruled that Jackson`s death was unlawful, revealing that he had lethal cocktail of six different drugs in his body when he died.
