Renowned actor Gurmeet Chaudhary has made his much-anticipated singing debut with the rap song for the new Disney+ Hotstar series, “Commander Karan Saxena”.
The series, directed by Jatin Wagle and produced by Keylight Productions, is now streaming for free on mobile.
The song, composed by the duo Bharatt-Saurabh with lyrics by Amit Khan, has captivated audiences with its powerful dialogues and sense of national pride.
Rajeshwar Nair and Krishnan Iyer of Keylight Productions produced the track, which was recorded at Ballad Bird Music.
“Commander Karan Saxena” follows the gripping story of a RAW agent determined to defend his country and seek justice for a fallen comrade.
The series stars Iqbal Khan and Hruta Durgule alongside Gurmeet Chaudhary and is based on a character created by writer Amit Khan.
Speaking about his debut, Gurmeet Chaudhary said, “I was truly overwhelmed with pride while singing the title track. When Rajeshwar sir (producer of Commander Karan Saxena) asked me to sing the title track, I was a bit skeptical because I hadn’t sung before. I took inspiration from Badshah to completely immerse myself into the song. I feel I have played my part now by giving a small tribute from my side to the heroes of our nation. It was surreal singing for the first time and going out of my comfort zone. I am truly grateful to the incredible team behind this track. Right from the lyricist to the musician, everyone has just elevated this piece to the next level. With this track, I only hope that it reaches the maximum audience and, for a brief moment, they acknowledge what the army has done for us.”
Amit Khan, the writer behind the character of Commander Karan Saxena and the song’s lyricist, shared his thoughts: “I am primarily a storyteller. But I have also had a habit of writing poems since childhood. However, as I gradually became famous as a thriller writer, the publication of my poems took a back seat. But I never stopped writing poems. Listening to music still gives me great spiritual peace. This passion also inspires me to write songs. Gurmeet Choudhary has lent his voice to my lyrics in this rap song from the ‘Commander Karan Saxena’ series. He has sung this rap song very brilliantly, like a trained singer. He truly is a man of versatile talents. The duo Bharat-Saurabh has also composed the music for this song excellently. I am confident that the fans of ‘Commander Karan Saxena’ will definitely like this rap song. I would also like to express my gratitude to our producer Rajeshwar Nair, who played a significant role in making this rap song.”
“Commander Karan Saxena” is streaming now on Disney+ Hotstar with new episodes released daily, Monday to Friday.
