As a year is about to complete after the disaster of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, the city police, which lost some of its bravest men on that fateful day approached singer Sonu Niigaam to compose an anthem that salutes the spirit of the city.



Among those who will be giving their voice to this endeavor is actor Amitabh Bachchan.

Amitabh told, "A tribute yes, but more on the spirit of Mumbai, its resilience and its character of being able to withstand all storms. You may try to damage us, but you will never succeed in bending or breaking us."

Sonu included, "The Mumbai police approached me to compose a soulful song that will be the anthem for Mumbai. I don't think any city in India has an anthem. This is the first time a particular city will have its own song." 
 
The song also pays honor to the hundreds of people who lost their lives in the carnage.

The song also features 14 well-known singers, including Sonu. They include the likes of Hariharan, Shaan, Kailash Kher, Jagjit Singh, Suresh Wadkar, Kunal Ganjawala, Talat Aziz, Roop Kumar Rathod, Sunidhi Chauhan, Shankar Mahadevan, Alka Yagnik, Richa Sharma and Mahalaxmi Iyer.

Sonu further told, "We all think it's a lovely concept and wanted to do our bit for the cause. The lyrics of the song have been written by Subuu and having Amitabh Bachchan to sing for it was an honour. His coming on board has made the initiative's aim a fruitful one."
