Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has lent his star power to the latest song from 6 Pack Band, the first trans musical group from India also featuring Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma in their song’s video.

The band, which is made up of six transgender singers, became an internet sensation when their rendition of Pharrel William’s ‘Happy’, became viral. Now, the band is set to release their sixth music video.

The band is fostered by Y-Films, the youth wing of Yash Raj Films. According to media, Y-Films created the band in 2015 as an initiative to further cause gender equality in the country.

“For the last song we have an epic campaign,” shares Ashish Patil, Vice President Y-Films, Brand Partnerships & Talent Management. “It’s going to be the biggest one. We have collaborated with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, he has sung with the band. The video also has shorts of Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma.”

“Towards the end, Anushka will talk about acceptance, love and why to disrespect anyone. It is not just about transgender but all those who have been neglected,” he added.

Previously, Sonu Nigam and Zanai (Asha Bhosale’s granddaughter) have collaborated with the band, while Hrithik Roshan has also performed on one of their tracks.
