When it’s raining updates form various mega projects like Ram Charan and Jr. NTR’s ‘RRR’, Prabhas’ ‘Radhe Shyam’, Akshay Kumar’s ‘Bell Bottom’, Mahesh Babu’s ‘Sarkaru Vaari Paata’ and more, there is no way Allu Arjun and Fahadh Faasil’s ‘Pushpa’ would have held back.
The much awaited first song from ‘Pushpa’ composed by the iconic Devi Sri Prasad aka DSP will be coming out on 13th August, 2021. The announcement was made on the occasion of DSP’s birthday today.
The song will be released in five languages and is named as ‘Daakko Daakko Meka’ in Telugu, ‘Odu Odu Aadu’ in Tamil, ‘Odu Odu Aade’ in Malayalam, Jokke Jokke Meke in Kannada and Jaago Jaago Bakre in Hindi. Vishal Dadlani (Hindi), Vijay Prakash (Kannada), Rahul Nambiar (Malayalam), Shivam (Telugu) and Benny Dayal (Tamil) have lend their voice for the composition.
This is similar to what ‘RRR’ has done recently with its ‘Dosti’ / ‘Natpu’ / ‘Pritam’ song and the response for which has been amazing from all quarters. Will the multi-lingual, multi-singer magic work for ‘Pushpa’ too? Well it definitely looks like so given the brilliant previous credits of director-music composer duo, Sukumar and DSP.
And not only that, the musicians brought on board for the song are well known names in their respective industries. Vijay Prakash is one of the four artists credited for Oscar and Grammy winning song ‘Jai Ho’. He has also given voice for films like Swades, Kaal, Raavan and many more.
Vishal Dadlani is not only a great singer (‘Bala’, ‘Swag Se Swaagat’) but also an excellent music director (Om Shanti Om, Anjana Anjani, Sultan) who works along with Shekhar. Rahul Nambiar has sung songs for films like Paiyaa, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo and more. Benny Dayal on the other hand has multiple hit songs to his credit including ‘Badtameez Dil’ (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani), ‘Lat Lag Gayee’ (Race 2) and ‘Kaise Mujhe’ (Ghajini) among others.
For those who don’t know ‘Pushpa’ is the tenth film where director Sukumar is collaborating with DSP and history is proof that the combo of these two masters of their fields has been nothing less than blockbuster. They have been working together for a long time now and the hit albums they have jointly produced include Arya (2004), Jagadam (2007), Arya 2 (2009), 100% Love (2011), 1: Nenokkadine (2014), Kumari 21F (2015), Nannaku Prematho (2016), Rangasthalam (2018) and Uppena (2021).
‘Pushpa’ is first of the two parts of the action-thriller film starring Allu Arjun, Fahadh Faasil and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead. Its story is based on red sanders smuggling in the Seshachalam Hills of the Rayalseema region of Andhra Pradesh.
Written and directed by Sukumar, the much anticipated film ‘Pushpa’ is produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y. Ravi Shankar of Mythri Movie Makers along with Muttamsetty Media.
