IPL 10 theme song unveiled and it's already a hit

New Delhi: The theme song of Indian Premiere League 2017 has been launched and it has already taken social media by storm.

Marking the tenth edition of the tournament the theme song is titled “10 saal aapke naam”. The song has been composed by Salim-Sulaiman and vocals are of Benny Dayal.

The video posted by Sony Max on their facebook page has already got over 1.8 million views within 24 hours.

Composer Salim dedicated the anthem to the fans.

"IPL is such an amazing occasion of celebration in the country and I felt like whatever we composed whether it is ‘10 saal' or it is some other concept, the feeling of celebration is very important," Salim said in a statement.

 

IPl, which provides a perfect blend of cricket and entertainment, unveils a new theme song every year and this year was no different. 

IPL previously had peppy anthems like "Ek India Happywala" and "India Ka Tyohaar", which were a rage among the fans. Salim believes this one will also prove to be chartbuster.

"The whole concept of dedicating this season to all the fans was such an incredible thing because the fans have made this big. Whatever you do today -- whether it's a movie or a song -- it's all about the people," Salim added.

While sharing his experience, Benny said: "When I walked into the studio, they played me the whole song. The scratch was in Salim's voice. I was like, 'Salim, this is going to be damn huge'. But he said, 'No, it is not yet there' because he was still working on the song." 

"He is always very critical about his song. This song makes people emotional and at the same time this is a very strong anthem for people to sing it. The recall value of the song is very high."

The tenth edition of the Indian Premiere League is slated to kick start form April 5.
