Excitement for Akshay Kumar’s ‘Sarfira’ escalates with the release of its first track, ‘Maar Udi’. Unveiled this week, the song which celebrates resilience and courage, features the voices of Yadu Krishnan, Sugandh Shekar, Haston Rodrigues, and Abhijith Rao, with lyrics by Manoj Muntashir Shukla and composition by G.V. Prakash Kumar.
Akshay Kumar shared the song video on his X handle, stating, “When life throws a challenge, just look it in the eye and #MaarUdi !! Song out now. It’s time to be #Sarfira. See you in theatres. July 12.”
Akshay Kumar also shared the second song ‘Khudaya’ on his X handle, commenting, “For the love that stands by every Sarfira…#Khudaya song out NOW!.” Composed and sung by Suhit Abhyankar, the track additionally includes vocals from Sagar Bhatia and Neeti Mohan, with lyrics written by Manoj Muntashir.
Inspired by Captain Gopinath’s book ‘Simplifly’ and multiple other true stories from the world of entrepreneurship and aviation, Sarfira tells the story of Vir Jagannath Mhatre, the son of a teacher in rural Maharashtra who sets out to achieve the impossible – making the common man fly.
By defying all odds and persistently pursuing his vision, Vir takes on the most capital-intensive industry in the world and revolutionizes air travel in India with the help of his family, friends and sheer will power.
This is a uniquely Indian story of grit, determination and Jugaad, of an underdog challenging the socio-economic fabric of a system entrenched in class, caste and power dynamics.
The trailer showcases Akshay Kumar as an underdog challenging socio-economic barriers. The film also stars Radhika Madan, Paresh Rawal, and Seema Biswas.
‘Sarfira’ releases on July 12, 2024.
