Sallu to also pen the lyrics for his song.

BANGALORE: Mr. Dabangg of Bollywood, Pandeyji, a.k.a Salman Khan, will be seen crooning in his upcoming ‘No Entry Mein Entry’.
This film is the sequel to the 2005 blockbuster ‘No Entry’ that had an ensemble cast of Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Fardeen Khan, Lara Dutta, Celina Jaitley, Esha Deol and Bipasha Basu. Directed by Anees Bazmee and produced by Boney Kapoor, ‘No Entry’ was the biggest film of Bollywood grossing a mighty Rs. 43 crores which was huge before Bollywood ventured into the age of 100 crores.
The word is that that Salman was talked into singing by 18-year-old composer Palash Muchhal. In spite of the buzz that Salman’s decision to sing has brought about, the most eligible bachelor of Bollywood is neither singing a solo nor a duet. He will lend his voice as part of the chorus for a dance number. The lead singer of the track will be Palash’s elder sister, Palak.
Salman is not only singing but also writing the dance number himself. Palash, who was at first apprehensive about composing a dance number was talked into it by Salman.
Palash has won the title of the youngest Bollywood composer in the world (Golden book of world records).
Palash’s sister Palak is also one of the youngest singers in Bollywood. She has sung in many acclaimed films like ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, ‘Aashiqui 2’ and ‘The Xpose’. Together with her brother Palash, Palak performs stage shows all across the world to raise money for poor children who suffer from heart disease.
Salman’s decision to sing is something everyone will look forward to. Previously a lot of actors have turned singers. Ayushmann Khurrana turned singer in his debut film ‘Vicky Donor’, as did Farhan Akhtar in ‘Rock On!’ Even Kishore Kumar started out as an actor and then turned to singing. A little known fact: Amitabh Bachchan sang for the first time in his film ‘Mr. Natwarlal’ and that year he got a nomination in the Filmfare awards for both acting and singing, making him one of the handful of people to do so. History suggests therefore that deciding to croon has fared well for the heroes of Bollywood. There is no reason the same shouldn’t hold true for Sallu.
