After much legal hassle, John Abraham and Diana Penty starrer Parmanu - The Story of Pokhran has been finally locked for release on 25th of May and to promote their action drama, after Shubh Din the makers drop yet another tune from the film, only this time it's a soulful melody.

Jitni Dafa sung by Yasser Desai and Jeet Gannguli sees the inner conflict in John's character who finds himself at a cross between love and duty. The song gives a great insight into the shoes of John's character. From the clips, one finds out that John is willing to go the distance and create a rift in his marriage rather than let his wife in on the secret mission. In a scene, John says, "Sushma ko kya bataunga? Mai yahaan kya kar raha tha? (What will I tell Sushma? What was I doing here?)" Looks like we'll have to wait till 25th to find out. The song is beautifully composed by Jeet and lyrics are penned by Rashmi Virag.

John took to Twitter to share the song and wrote, "Mesmerising tunes of bond echoing through the dunes of sacrifice & struggle.@jeetmusic's #JitniDafa from #Parmanu is out now!"

Mesmerizing, indeed.

In Parmanu, John will bring forth the story of India's first nuclear test to celluloid. John had earlier said in a statement, "It's time to embark on a journey to revisit the mission that changed the place of India on the world map and turning the course of modern India's position in the world as a strong nuclear state."

For the uninitiated, after India gained independence, the then Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, authorised the development of a nuclear programme headed by Dr Homi Jehangir Bhabha. Nehru was an advocate of using nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, but India's nuclear programme was opposed by the international community. This is why India's first nuclear test was kept hush-hush wherein even the defence minister of India was not kept in the know, and announced only after the day it was conducted
