Arijit's song from Salman Khan's 'Tiger 3' out on Monday
Arijit Singh and Salman Khan's longstanding dispute is finally settled in its grave. After a public fallout in 2014, Singh had written a public apology, wanting to retire "with at least one song for Khan." His wish has come true and he has sung two songs for Khan's Tiger 3, and the first, Leke Prabhu Ka Naam, will be out on Monday.
Why does this story matter?
The conflict emanated at an awards ceremony in 2014, hosted by Khan. When Khan pointed out Singh's "casual clothing," Singh retorted, "Aap logo ne sula diya (You all made me sleepy)." Though Khan didn't react onstage, his ties with Singh were marred. Singh publicly apologized through this letter, but his song Jag Ghoomeya was axed from Sultan and given to Rahat Fateh Ali Khan.
Singh's frequent collaborator Pritam has composed the music
Tiger 3's music has been composed by Pritam. Speaking about Singh-Khan's maiden collaboration, he said, "It was a collaboration that was waiting to happen. Salman Khan is one of the biggest superstars and Arijit Singh, is our generation's top singing sensation. These two stalwarts coming together for a song was long overdue and we are thrilled that it is happening for Tiger 3."
Here's the first look of the upcoming song
Refresher: The 'Tiger' franchise has always had terrific music
In addition to its high-octane action stunts and emotional core, the Tiger franchise has also earned praise for its music.

Separately, Singh's second song in Tiger 3 will be a romantic ballad, while LPKN is a party track.
