Presented in a unique

unspoken sentiments of people. Star Pravah has always supported such initiatives
which provoke Maharashtrians to go that extra mile and realize their potential.
Talking about the success
of this video, Star Pravah spokesperson said, “Although the song is in Marathi,
we purposely released it with English subtitles so that we can reach out to
wider audience who are social media savvy. The black-and-white look and
satirical tone of the video blended seamlessly to deliver a socially relevant
message for the youth across Maharashtra. We are elated to witness the virality
of the music video and we hope that the objective of the video is met.”
Ritiesh Deshmukh said, “After
Lai Bhari, Balak Palak and Yellow, Mumbai Film Company thought of bringing in a
unique concept. When writer-director Kapil Sawant came up with this idea, we at
Mumbai Film Company took initiative to produce this music video. We are extremely
pleased to see the overwhelming response received so far. I would like to thank
Star Pravah for joining hands in this initiative to make people aware of things
that happen around them but they chose to ignore at times.”
Adman Kapil Sawant has
penned down the lyrics of this song and also directed the music video. The music
