Udta Punjab director Abhishek Chaubey has praised singer Kanika Kapoor’s rendition of the film’s song Da da dasse.
Udta Punjab tells the story of the rampant drug abuse among the youth in Punjab. Shahid Kapoor is seen playing the character of a drug-fuelled rock star Tommy Singh, who sings with glee and abuses with impunity.
The film also features Alia Bhatt as a migrant Bihari labourer, Kareena Kapoor Khan as a doctor who is determined to fight the illegal transportation of drugs, and Punjabi actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh as a police officer.
After Chitta ve and Ikk kudi, the third song Da da dasse will be launched on Thursday. The music video will feature all four actors.
The song, composed by Amit Trivedi, describes the journey of each character.
“Udta Punjab is a new-age multi-starrer with an exciting cast. This song will showcase all four actors and will give a glimpse of their character’s journey in the film,” Chaubey said in a statement.
“Kanika has done a wonderful job with the song,” Chaubey added.
Produced by Balaji Motion Pictures and Phantom Productions, Udta Punjab is set to release on June 17 in India.
Kapoor had earlier said that the song is “quite grungy”.
