Soundtrack of Salman's `Veer` launched in Mumbai

Mumbai: Bollywood actor Salman Khan, along with the cast and crew of his forthcoming film `Veer` attended its music launch function here on Monday evening.Directed by Anil Sharma, `Veer` is an epic film set in 1875, during the British rule in India. It is a love story of a warrior belonging to the Pindari clan. Historically, the Pindaris were bands of Afghan horsemen who fought against the British forces, and survived on plunder.

While interacting with media-persons, Sharma said that the music was the main USP of the film.

All the hard work done to make this period film will definitely attract the viewers," he added. The film stars Salman Khan, Mithun Chakraborty, Sohail Khan and Jackie Shroff.
