the new version of the popular song is composed by Louis Banks who had also composed the 1988 version of the song along with late P Vaidyanathan. According to sources, in this new song, Banks has worked with his son Gino. The new song will feature musicians like Shankar - Ehsaan -Loy, Shaan, Shreya Ghoshal, Mika, Bhojpuri singer Kalpana, among many other personalities from sports, arts, entertainment and music. The video has been directed by Kailash Surendranath, the original director of the 1988 version of Mile Sur Mera Tumhara.

For those who don't know, Mile Sur Mera Tumhara (1988) was written by Piyush Pandey (then a Accounts Manager, and now Chief of Oligvy and Mather, India). The conception of the project was by Suresh Mullick and recorded by a group of people from all walks of life, and featured in its video a supergroup of popular Indians - Amitabh Bachchan, Mithun Chakraborty, Jitendra, Mallika Sarabhai (Dancer), Mario Miranda (Cartoonist) Mrinal Sen (Filmmaker) Sunil Gangopadhyay, Annadashankar Ray (Author) Bhimsen Joshi, M Balamuralikrishna, Lata Mangeshkar, Suchitra Mitra (Singers) and sportspersons Narendra Hirwani, S Venkataraghavan, Prakash Padukone among many others.

It would be interesting to see if the new version will appeal to the citizens as much as the iconic 1988 anthem that focused on national integration and unity.
