Grammy-award winning Indian singer Tanvi Shah will lend her voice to a song on human traffickin­g and illegal organ harvesting.

Shah, who sang the hit track Jai Ho from the Oscarwinni­ng movie Slumdog Millionair­e, yesterday joined hands with a Dubai-based firm, StratGurus, to launch a global campaign against illegal organ trade that rakes in annual profits of $150.2 billion (Dh551.23 billion).

The campaign will see Shah being part of a song to be built on the theme of ‘Humans are not for sale.’ The song, which is in preproduct­ion stage now, is set to be out before Christmas.

Penned by Dr Tabassum Khan, physician and chairman of Stratsguru group, and Shah, the track will be followed by a film titled 24 Hours, which will be shot in Dubai, Pakistan and London.
