Ecstatic at the release of his latest single, Arjun Kanungo said,“Woh Baarishein marks the end of an amazing trilogy where I set out to understand what it means to make music videos with story, drama and action. I feel it's one of my best and I am super excited about it. The song holds a great place in my heart as i sung it with utmost difficulties. I had recorded it in a very difficult phase, where I had completely lost my voice due to my intense voice training and I was afraid on how I would sound. But it all went so beautifully well, and I am so amazed with the end results. I am thankful to VYRL for their constant faith and immense support. My co-star Shriya and writer Manoj Muntashir have done a fabulous job and it’s a perfect sync of team effort which has made 'Woh Baarishein' so amazing ”

Speaking of his first release with VYRL Originals Manoj Mutashirshared,“‘No pain, no gain’ this age-old saying perfectly describes my experience with Woh Baarishein. Having written about 200 songs, I never thought any tune can put my skills to test, the way Arjun’s tune did. It was too uneven and staccato for any writer’s comfort, especially for me who is hell-bent on making my songs poetic.But I didn’t want to give up as the tune had a melancholy which kept haunting me for weeks. With much-appreciated help from Vinit Thakkar and off course Arjun, I could write something which made everyone's eyes wet. This ‘gain’ came after loads of ‘pain’ but eventually it’s one of the most soul-satisfying songs, I’ve ever written.”

Speaking on the release of the song, Vinit Thakkar, Senior Vice President, Universal Music Group India & South Asia said, “Arjun undoubtedly is the most recognizable popstar in India, and we are glad to have him as a part of the VYRL family. Arjun’s third track with VYRL originals is surely going to break his past records. The track Woh Baarishein is by far Arjun’s best creation and the excellent verses by Manoj Muntashir take it a notch higher. All our VYRL Originals track have a unique appeal across audiences and Woh Baarishein is sure to have a deeper connect and lasting impact across the masses.
