The song ‘Hitman’ from Sonu Sood’s actioner Fateh was unveiled by the makers on Wednesday. It is composed and sung by Yo Yo Honey Singh with lyrics by Leo Grewal and Paradox.
The music video of the song features Sonu wearing a slick suit and carrying guns as the song describes his qualities. Honey Singh also features in the video as he sings it in style. The song has a peppy feel to it with the trademark Honey Singh charm in the rap portion. It is choreographed by Bosco Leslie Martis, who also serves as the video director.
On teaming up with Honey Singh, Sonu said, “This journey started when both of us Punjabis met in Chandigarh years ago. Honey’s music had the pulse of the streets back then, and it still does today. Collaborating with him for ‘Hitman’ feels like destiny coming full circle. His beats have given Fateh the edge it needed. This song is a powerhouse of intensity, addictive melody, and sheer Punjabi pride.”
Honey Singh said in a statement, “I have known Sonu sir for more than 16 years. Even back then, I knew he wasn’t just meant to act in films – he was born to create them. When he showed me chunks of Fateh, I felt his passion as a filmmaker. Getting the privilege to create ‘Hitman’ for this amazing movie was like putting the soundtrack to his vision. I remember making music in Chandigarh and Mohali all those years ago, and he always assured me that Mumbai would go crazy for my music. His belief in me back then meant the world, and today, we’re giving fans something epic, celebrating our Punjabi roots.”
Bosco Martis said in the press release, “The act was not just about choreography, it was about direction—bringing everything together and tying the whole vibe seamlessly. Working with Honey for the first time was incredible; his energy was truly infectious. His style, his vibe, and my vision all aligned perfectly. And then, there was Sonu—so cool and collaborative. His masculinity and presence added another layer to the whole experience.”
He added, “It wasn’t just about dancing; it was about how everything came together, and I think my team designed it beautifully. Directing both of them was such a fulfilling experience. The energy on set was amazing, and it all came together in the best way possible. Having two cool Punjabi men leading this, backed by my team’s efforts, made it a truly joyous experience”
Produced by Umesh KR Bansal of Zee Studios and Sonali Sood of Shakti Sagar Productions, and co-produced by Ajay Dhama, Fateh is slated to release in theatres on January 10, 2025.
