Salman Khan, along with the cast and crew of his forthcoming film Veer, attended its music launch function in Mumbai 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.
"I think one of the USPs of the film, apart from the star Salman Khan, is the story and dialogues. Also, the film's music. All the hard work done to make this period film will definitely attract the viewers," Sharma said.
Besides Salman, the film stars Mithun Chakraborty, Sohail Khan, Jackie Shroff and newcomer Zarina Khan.
Music directors Sajid-Wajid, who have composed the soundtracks of films like Welcome and Partner, have composed the music for Veer.
The film is slated for release in 2010.
