One of the most awaited films of 2027, Naam - To Live Is War, has just got bigger.

Varun Sharma of Fukrey fame will be seen playing a negative role for the first time in his career.

Last week, the makers announced that Prashant Narayanan, Vijayant Kohli and Shefali Bagga had joined the cast.

Now, Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learned that another prominent name has come on board – Himesh Reshammiya.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Naam - To Live Is War is an intense film and the makers wanted someone who could do musical justice to its subject and theme.

They felt Himesh Reshammiya would be the right choice.

Himesh was impressed with the film's plot and the passion of the team and hence, he readily came on board.

He was also excited about collaborating with Mahesh Bhatt after a long time.” Interestingly, Himesh Reshammiya and Mahesh Bhatt go back a long way.

Himesh composed the song 'Soorat Pe Teri Pyar Aave' for Footpath (2003), starring Aftab Shivdasani and Emraan Hashmi.

Mahesh Bhatt was associated with the film as a writer.

Later, Mahesh Bhatt wrote the story and screenplay of Kajraare (2010), which starred Himesh Reshammiya in the lead.

Himesh also composed and sang all the songs of the film.
