Alia Bhatt dons the hat of singer for 'Highway'

The budding beauty Alia Bhatt conquered the hearts with her young looks in her debut flick ' Student Of The Year '. The actress knows no looking back and she is all set to try her hands at various things. As everyone knows, Alia Bhatt will next feature in the film ' Highway ' opposite Randeep Hooda . And the lead lady Alia is geared up to step in the shoes of a singer in ' Highway ', as she will be singing a soothing lullaby "Sooha Saha", reportedly.

The music of ' Highway ' has been composed by A. R. Rahman . The popular Pakistani singer duo Zeb and Haniya will also be lending their voice to the some portion of the song, which Alia will be singing, as per the reports. The film ' Highway ' narrates about the road journey of two strangers, which they travel together. Alia will be playing the role of Veera and Randeep will be seen as Mahabir in this flick. Both of these strangers coming from totally different cultural backgrounds travel from Punjab to Himachal. This lullaby sung by Alia aka Veera in the film reminds Randeep aka Mahabir of his childhood memories during the journey. Talking about the song, the music composer A. R. Rahman revealed that "We have this lullaby, Sooha Saha in ' Highway '. Imtiaz said Alia has a great voice and I didn't trust him. Then she learned the song sang to me and I was pretty impressed with her natural ability too. We guided her little bit to perfect the singing. She did it twice and then we got it almost right and now it sounds great,"

Alia Bhatt was much thrilled about this singing experience and she said that "It was unreal. I am a bathroom singer but to have the opportunity to sing a song composed by Rahman sir was unbelievable. This film is so close to my heart not just for acting but for singing too now!"

Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and Imtiaz Ali , the film ' Highway ' will start the journey on February 21.
