Fresh off the presses: ‘Man Hawa’, the stirring new single from the upcoming courtroom thriller ‘Assi’, directed by Anubhav Sinha. Mohit Chauhan’s mesmerizing voice brings this Taapsee Pannu-led project’s theme song to life, and the singer confesses a profound attachment to it.
From the initial strains, Mohit was smitten. Ro chak Kohli’s composition and Kumar’s poignant words form a vibrant, emotion-packed track that sings the soul of this high-stakes investigative drama. With Parampara Tandon and Ro chak Kohli harmonizing, it fearlessly probes life’s hard-hitting queries.
“Storytelling songs with punch are my weakness,” Mohit divulged. “‘Man Hawa’ won me over immediately; recording felt like drifting on pure sentiment, infusing the tale with vitality.”
The song’s message is bold: defy dread with daring, shatter silence with honesty, choose belief over bargain. It eases into the soul, then rallies with steely purpose, fueling the fire to defend one’s truths amid adversity.
For director Anubhav Sinha, it’s more than a tune—it’s ‘Assi’s lifeline. “This celebrates the might to question truth, conquer trials, and stand tall in sincerity,” he stated. It unveils the deep resilience born from bold defiance.
‘Assi’ stars Taapsee Pannu, alongside a stellar lineup of Kan e Kusruti, Revathy, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, and Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub. Expect cameos from legends Naseeruddin Shah, Supriya Pathak, and Seema Pahwa.
A Gulshan Kumar and T-Series presentation, produced by Banaras Media Works with Bhushan Kumar, Krishna Kumar, and Anubhav Sinha, the film releases February 20. ‘Man Hawa’ is your first taste of its raw power.
