‘Barbaad’ from Saiyaara: Jubin Nautiyal’s soulful voice breathes life into the love story of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda

‘Barbaad’, a song from Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s upcoming romantic drama Saiyaara, was unveiled by the makers on Tuesday. It is written and composed by The Rish. The film has been directed by Mohit Suri.

The song begins in a concert with Ahaan and Aneet looking at each other from a distance as they start to move closer and lean in for a kiss. The vocals by Jubin carry a sense of intensity, which highlights the blooming love between the two. The music video features visuals of the two cruising on a bike across the city and spending time together.

Speaking about his decision to bring Jubin on board for the song, Mohit said in a press release, “Jubin has a very unique voice that makes romantic songs have more feel, more impact. It is a rare quality for any singer to have, which is why such singers become the biggest of the stars. I feel if a singer can land a romantic song that people can connect to, can identify with, it is truly a gift from above to have such a talent."

He added, “Romantic songs have the power to evoke deep, personal nostalgia and I believe ‘Barbaad’ will do that to people who have felt love in their lives. ‘Barbaad’ is a song about how love can consume lovers and yet leave them wanting for more.” Saiyaara marks the debut of Ahaan, who is the cousin of Ananya Panday. It is produced by Yash Raj Film’s CEO Akshaye Widhani and set to be released in theatres on July 18.
