Singer Daler Mehndi debuts in Kannada with The Villain

The director of The Villian, Prem, has kept movie buffs in suspense ever since he took to Twitter to reveal that he was going to be roping in a popular “international singer”, who would make his debut in Kannada with the film. He said that he would let out the name of this singer soon, and made a special mention about music director Arjun Janya, and how he has come up with an “extraordinary composition and excellent lyrics” for the Shivrajkumar and Sudeep-starrer.

We have now found out that the singer in question is none other than our very own popular singer-songwriter, author and record producer, Daler Mehndi. A song sung by Daler was recorded on Tuesday in New Delhi.

In his video, Prem says that the singer was dancing while recording this song. It is now just a matter of time before the music team makes a splash with this track. The song is currently at the editing desk with Arjun Janya handling the final mixing. 

As a director, Prem is known for bringing in many firsts in his films. Some of these include Amy Jackson making her Kannada debut in his film, along with Bollywood actor Mithun Chakraborty. Bringing in Daler Mehndi is now another feather in his directorial cap.
