According to composer Salim Merchant, the unreleased song by the late performer Sidhu Moose Wala would be made available the following month. Salim explained in a video that he uploaded on Instagram how and why he decided to collaborate with Sidhu. Salim also stated in the video that a per cent of the song’s proceeds would go to Sidhu’s parents. Salim announced that the song Jaandi Vaar, which also includes Afsana Khan, will be published on September 2 at the very end of the video.
Salim opened the video by saying, “Hello everyone! A lot of people have been asking me when the song I made with Sidhu Moose Wala will be released. So now is the appropriate time. In Chandigarh in July 2021, we recorded the song. Afsana Khan, whom I met last year, introduced me to Sidhu. It made me extremely glad to learn about Sidhu’s enthusiasm for his art, music, people, community, and thoughts, and we quickly decided to collaborate.

He went on, “This song was produced in Chandigarh at the studio owned by my friend Sachin Ahuja. We created a stunning, heartfelt, and moving song. Sidhu sang this song from the bottom of his heart, and Afsana made it more beautiful. We are releasing this music as a homage to Sidhu’s followers, those who loved him, and everyone all over the world who enjoyed his songs even though he is no longer with us. His voice and ideas are captured in this song.” Salim continued, “To honour Sidhu, we have decided to donate a portion of the money made from this song’s sales to his parents. Jaandi Vaar is the name of this song, and it will be made available on September 2. On August 31, you can purchase a piece of the audio rights to this song on Kalakaar.io. Visit the website to take part in ownership. On September 2, Jaandi Vaar, a film by Siddhu Moosewaala and Afsana Khan, would be available on all platforms.”
