Akshay Kumar is ruling the box office with back-to-back hits. This year, he has already given three blockbusters like Kesari, Mission Mangal and Housefull 4. In the film Kesari, there was a song titled Teri Mitti which had ruled charts earlier this year. The song was sung by Punjabi singer B Praak and now, the singer and the actor have once again collaborated, but this time for a music video. Titled Fillhal, this will be Akshay’s first music video.
While talking about it, the actor said, “Having experienced the magic of B Praak’s voice firsthand with Teri Mitti from my film Kesari, there was not much needed to convince me to come onboard for Fillhal. And to top it off the lyrics are so beautiful, it’s impossible to not feel anything. When I met with the lyricist, Jaani he told me it’s his best-written song till date and I couldn’t agree more. This brilliant combination of a soulful voice and lyrics to match got me to make my music video debut.”
The single will also feature Punjabi actor Ammy Virk and Kriti Sanon’s sister Nupur Sanon. Well, we are sure just like Teri Mitti, Fillhal will also become a chartbuster.
Talking about Akshay’s movies, the actor will have one more release this year. He will be seen in Good Newwz which is slated to release on 27th December 2019. The movie also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Kiara Advani. Next year, Akshay will have four releases, Sooryavanshi in March, Laxmmi Bomb on Eid, Prithviraj on Diwali and Bachchan Pandey on Christmas.
Ranveer Singh’s rugged new look anchors the high-energy music video.
Rapper Hanumankind makes his official Bollywood début with a fierce verse.
Modern take on the classic Punjabi folk tune 'Jogi'.
Glimpses of Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal in the mix.
The full trailer lands next month.
The Dhurandhar title track just hit the internet, and the noise around this spy thriller just went up a few notches. This is the track that pulls rapper Hanumankind into his first proper Bollywood playback moment. They have taken the old folk number 'Jogi' and built a power-packed version around it, a mix of earthy roots and straight-up aggressive energy that hits like a truck. It fits, honestly. It mirrors the film's whole gritty vibe and Ranveer Singh's battle-hardened look with that wild beard.

What is the Dhurandhar title track about?
You get a proper blast of the film’s atmosphere from this track. The music video cuts fast between shots of a heavily bearded and muscular Ranveer Singh, looking every bit the part of a hardened operative. The video cuts to the other big names in the cast as well. Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal are all there in what appears to be a tense, dark situation. The music includes traditional Punjabi folk with a stronger, cinematic rhythm.
How did Hanumankind get involved in the Dhurandhar song?
It turns out his involvement was a pretty organic, almost spontaneous thing. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev opened up about how the rap section came together. Apparently, it happened during a late-night studio session with director Aditya Dhar and Hanumankind himself. They captured an impromptu performance that just clicked, bringing what Sachdev called a "raw, instinctive fire" to the whole track. For an artist known for his independent work, this Dhurandhar feature is a major step into the mainstream film scene.
All this build-up is heading towards a definite date. The makers confirmed it right at the end of the title track video. Dhurandhar is locked in for a worldwide theatrical release on 5 December of this year. For those who need more than a song to tide them over, the official trailer is promised for 12 November.
