Shah Rukh shared the track in all three languages on Twitter.
“Presenting “#ZindaBanda!” he wrote alongside the link of the Hindi version.
“Usloon par jahan aanch aaye, takrana zaroori hai. Jo zinda ho toh phir zinda nazar aana zaroori hai! (When principles are at stake, one must fight. This battle is what makes you alive!) ”
” I thank Wasim Barelvi Sahab with all my heart for letting us use this beautiful couplet with a minor change. The song is written by Irshad Kamil sir, and the music is by my dear friend Anirudh,” Shah Rukh said in a statement.

The celebratory track from the Atlee-directed movie features the superstar dancing along with Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani, Girija Oak, Sanjeeta Bhattacharya and Lehar Khan. The song is choreographed by Shobi.
Anirudh, who is known for chartbuster tracks such as ‘Vaathi Coming’ and ‘Arabic Kuthu’ among others, said ‘Zinda Banda’ holds a special place in his heart and his aim was to do justice to Shah Rukh’s stardom.
“It’s also my first time composing for Shah Rukh Khan who is synonymous with featuring in iconic songs of our generation and I was determined to do justice to his stardom. Working with such a talented cast and crew was truly amazing, witnessing their dedication and hard work in mounting this song on such a grand scale has been inspiring.”
” It’s been a challenging and creatively fulfilling journey, creating the album for this film across three languages.
I hope that people enjoy the music of ‘Jawan’ as much as I enjoyed creating it,” the composer said in a statement.
According to the makers, the filming of ‘Zinda Banda’ spanned five days where Shah Rukh performed the foot-tapping track with over 1000 female dancers.
