‘Oho Rathamma,’ third single from the upcoming Vishwak Sen starrer Laila was released on Friday. Directed by Ram Narayan, Laila stars Akanksha Sharma as the female lead.

Written and sung by folk artist Penchal Das, ‘Oho Rathamma’ is a catchy blend of rustic folk melody and thumping massy beats of mainstream film music. Madhupriya accompanies Penchal Das as the female playback vocalist for the catchy composition by Leon James. The song video for ‘Oho Rathamma’ choreographed by Bhanu, is shot in a vibrant style, with both Vishwak and Akanksha imbibing the song’s energy with their robust dance moves.

The official teaser of Laila, unveiled two weeks ago, gained a lot of attention for Vishwak’s feminine avatar. Vishwak plays a popular make-up artist in the film, who is compelled to take up a woman’s disguise for unknown reasons. Produced by Sahi Garapati under the banner of Shine Screens, Laila is slated for a theatrical release on February 14. The action entertainer will clash with other mid-scale movies like Dilruba and BrahmaAnandam.
