After Dev D, Anurag Kashyap is back with a musical love story Manmarziyaan. With Amit Trivedi holding the reins of the music of the film, all ‘ears’ are on the album. As a part of the promotional strategy, the makers are unveiling one song per day as a countdown to the release. And the soundtrack comprises over ten songs!
The man with a penchant for reinventing himself, who was last seen breaking out of his comfort zone in Sanju as Kamli is donning yet another vibrant avatar in Manmarziyaan. Vicky Kaushal fans, brace yourselves! The first song 'F for Fyaar' also marks the actor’s singing debut. The Bhangra-rap song is also crooned by Mast Ali and Sikander Kahlon while the lyrics are penned by Shellee. It seems to be a testament to the carefree love of the characters essayed by Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal.
The song is already making waves. It crossed 7 million views in less than 8 hours.
“Since Vicky plays a DJ in the movie, we felt it would be great if he could sing a few lines in the song to give a real feel to it. It has come out well. When Vicky heard the song, he was pleasantly surprised to hear his voice. He enjoyed the singing process.”Amit Trivedi
“Each time I work with him, I see something new in myself and that’s what happened in Manmarziyaan as well,” says Vicky Kaushal of Anurag Kashyap. He essayed the role of the corrupt cop, Raghavan, in Raman Raghav 2.0.
