The tragic demise of noted singer KK has left the entire nation in shock and even days after his death people still can’t believe he’s no more. Recently Srijit Mukherji and his team ‘X=Prem’ took part in a musical ode to the late singer at a city restaurant ahead of the film’s release on June 3.

Srijit along with Arjun Chakrabarty, Anindya Sengupta, Shruti Das, Barish, Saptak Sanai Das, and others were present during the emotionally-drenched tribute event. Joy Sarkar and Srijato were also there as special guests.

“It was shocking news to all of us. I had recorded a song with KK just a few months ago and now to hear this news was terrible. I think almost every person gets emotional listening to ‘Yaaron’. His songs can accompany you in any mood. It’s indeed a huge loss for our industry” said an emotional Srijit. The director also accompanied the singers on his mouth-organ paying fitting tribute to the late singer who passed away hours after performing at a concert in Kolkata on May 31. His last rites were performed on June 2 in Mumbai as members of the film and music fraternity paid their last respects.

The music of ‘X=Prem’ has been composed by Saptak Sanai Das who is making his debut as a music composer with the film. The lyrics have been penned by Barish, Srijit himself, and Dhrubojyoti Chakraborty. Interestingly, after a long time, Srijit wrote the lyrics for the song ‘Raikishori’.
