Ed Sheeran has a lyric sheet in hand and Hindi lines to rehearse. In the vocal booth, a producer asks whether this is his first time singing in the language. Sheeran confirms it with a laugh, then gets back to the microphone.
The behind-the-scenes Short introduces "Tu Mil Jaaye", his collaboration with Arijit Singh for Shah Rukh Khan's film King. It has drawn about 215,000 views in its first 22 hours. This is a recording glimpse and song teaser, not the full music video: the studio footage gives way to romantic scenes featuring Khan and Deepika Padukone.
Sheeran says the invitation dates back to his first meeting with Khan, who asked him to make a song for a future film. The opportunity came together when Sheeran visited Khan's house to arrange his cameo in the "Sapphire" video. Khan introduced him to composer duo Sachin-Jigar, and Sheeran says he wrote and recorded his verse that night.
Viewers are picking out his English verse and the pairing with Arijit. For Sheeran, the project brings several friendships together, with King due for release on December 24.
