Singer and
rapper Viruss
is on cloud nine as he has made his big Bollywood debut with superstar
Akshay Kumar’s upcoming film ‘
Laxmii
’. His original rap ‘
Bam Bhole
’, which was released three years back, has been recreated by the emerging singer for this movie.
Sharing his excitement and the pressure of working with established actors, Viruss said in a statement, “The original song ‘Bam Bhole' was already a hit with more than 350 Million+ views when the makers of the film approached us. Everyone was already in love with it. However, they wanted to add more energy to the song as the story and the overall situation of the film had demanded it. That is where we stepped in and added more power, B-town flavour to it and now, it definitely sounds like a Bholenath-Bollywood anthem.”
Viruss also revealed that everyone including Akshay appreciated his work. “It was a great experience working with the whole team. Appreciations came from each one of them but the best one was from the man himself - Akshay Kumar. He told me that he had heard the original version earlier and absolutely loved it. He also added that the song has superb energy and a very positive vibe. He was very excited and energetic on the sets,” stated the artiste.
Since it’s his first mainstream song for a feature film, Viruss has high expectations. “This is my first Bollywood song and the first one is always special. Moreover, this song has always been special to me as it has given me positive energy and blessings of
Bholenath
. This is definitely the best thing that has happened to me in my career and I’m looking forward to doing many other Bollywood songs in near future,” he added.
“Anup Paaji (owner of the company responsible for the collaboration) came in touch with the makers and the music coordinator
Azeem Dayani
. Anup ji was initially planning to give this song to a Telugu film. But Akshay Kumar expressed his willingness to release it in his movie. That’s how we came to a conclusion and recreated this for ‘Laxmii’. I am sure people will love it as much as they love the original version,” concluded Viruss.
