Zayn Malik has recorded a track with producer AR Rahman that is expected to feature in a Bollywood film.

The 25-year-old singer, whose father is British Pakistani, allegedly met with the Grammy-award winning Bollywood producer to work on the track.

Malik has recorded his first song in Hindi and has been experimenting with the language, writing in Urdu.

He told Indian Fashion magazine: “It's one of the first songs I've sung in full Hindi, so it's going to be cool to see what the response to that is.

“There's definitely a lot of Urdu; some nice qawwali sounds. There might even be some bhangra vibes. I have worked with AR Rahman on one song.”

Malik is currently dating model Gigi Hadid, with Hadid’s mother Yolanda revealing that the singer is “like a son to her”.

Speaking ahead of the UK premiere of her new show, Making a Model, the mother of supermodels Gigi and Bella said that she “gets along great” with the British singer.

She said: “When you raise your children, I hope I instilled the best in them to make the right choices and turn to me and say 'I love this man' then I'm going to love them too.

“This is their journey and I'm just here to support both of them as long as they make each other happy, working through things then I'm happy."
