Nora Fatehi on the new track 

Speaking at the launch of the song earlier this week, Fatehi, who is making her debut in the Kannada industry, said, “Thank you Prem sir for inviting me. After watching the trailer on the big screen, now, I know why they call you the Showman. I came into the film quite last minute. When I came on the set and I met the entire crew, I realised they are genuinely making an epic movie. For me to be able to debut in Sandalwood [Industry] with this project, is quite an honour.” 

She added, “I hope everyone can enjoy the song when you actually get to see it. Today, it’s just lyrical, but the song is massive.” The song was launched across five languages — Kannada, Telugu, Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam. Sung by Mangli, the track is already a viral sensation across all social media platforms. The lyrics for the song has been written by Raqeeb Alam and the song is composed, arranged and produced by Arjun Janya. The event was attended by Nora Fatehi, Prem, Arjun Janya, Rakshitha Prem, Reeshma Nanaiah and the action prince, Dhruva Sarja!
