(February 21, 2017)

Even before Half Girlfriend releases this year, the team has created a new record. What's it? Of the longest song ever in any Bollywood film!

Composer Mithoon is making an 18-minute long song for the film. The song is regarded as a romantic track featuring the lead pair. The song also happens to represent the theme of the movie. The song is written by Galliyan’s lyricist Manoj Muntashir. The song will be played at a crucial juncture of the film. The lyrics of the song are extremely amazing for which Muntashir had written the peoms at a very early age. While he was reciting these poems at one of the concerts, director Mohit Suri had heard him.

Thus he approached Muntashir and Mithoon with a belief that they would make an amazing song for the film. This song is believed to break the previous record set by a 13 minute long song Salman Khan and Sonam Kapoor's Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. But to make up for it, huge chunk of the song got chopped off in the film.
