Kabzaa is going to be a feast for the audience: Upendra

With just a few weeks left for the release of Upendra’s Kabzaa, the makers launched Chum Chum Chali Chali, the third song from the album. The song, featuring Upendra and Tanya Hope, was grandly launched at director R Chandru’s hometown of Sidlaghatta, amid much fanfare and in the presence of Shivarajkumar, and other dignitaries.

Penned by lyricist Pramod Maravante, this mass number composed by Ravi Basrur, is sung by Aira Udupi, Manish Dinakar, and Santhosh Venky. The event was also attended by Kabzaa actor Shriya Saran, Geeta Shivrajkumar, and Health Minister Dr K Sudhakar, among others.

Shivarajkumar said that he has been a fan and friend of Upendra. He wished Chandru, with whom he has collaborated in Mylari, the best of luck for the success of Kabzaa.

Health Minister K Sudhakar noted that the Kabzaa audio launch event was more like a festival. “I wanted to do this song release ceremony for Chandru in our Chikkaballapur. But the director wanted to do this event in his hometown. I had previously released the audio of RRR, and I want Kabzaa to win at a bigger level than that. There is a lot of hype around the film, and I’m sure it is going to do well,” he said.

Taking to the stage, producer-director Chandru said, “We have already released two songs in Hyderabad and Chennai, and we have released the third track in Shidlaghatta. I am glad to see this gathering come together for the song release event, and Geethaka (Shivarajkumar’s wife) launch our production banner, Siddheshwara Enterprises. We are proud to present Kabzaa, which is another big film coming from Kannada industry.”

Speaking at the event, Upendra assured that he will be directing Shivanna as early as possible. “I wanted to say ‘action’ - ‘cut’ to Puneeth, which I missed. But I will helm a project for Shivanna and will fulfill Geethaka’s wish of producing the film under their banner.”

Speaking about Kabzaa, Upendra added that Ravi Basrur is a hero of Kabzaa, who has given mass, classic, and melody songs. “Director Chandru will win everyone’s hearts through Kabzaa. There are many miracles in the film and it is going to be a feast for the audience, and the story itself can be the highlight of the film.”

Expressing happiness about her role in Kabzaa, Shriya Saran shared that the efforts put in by the director and the team for the film was laudable.

Kabzaa, presented by MTB Nagaraj, and produced by the R Chandru in association with Alankar Pandian is currently being censored. The film also features Sudeep in a pivotal role, and will be released worldwide on March 17, which also marks Puneeth Rajkumar’s birth anniversary.
