The second song of the film "Pranaam" has been released.
The song "Zindagi" is sung by Ankit Tiwari, who has in the past delivered hit numbers in "Aashiqui 2", "Ek Villain" and "Roy".
Preanaam marks the return of actor Rajeev Khandelwal to the big screen, and is directed by Sanjeev Jaiswal and produced by Rajnish Ram Puri.
"We wanted to create a film that includes romance and action. The film's songs like 'Sirf tu' and 'Zindagi' reveal romance in the script. Along with the action, these songs will keep viewers hooked to the story," Puri promised.
