Bollywood buzz: Anubhav Sinha’s ‘Assi’ releases its evocative track ‘Man Hawa’, voiced masterfully by Mohit Chauhan for the Taapsee Pannu-fronted legal drama. The artist opens up about his unique bond with the song that pulses with the film’s audacious energy.
Mohit fell for it at hello—the demo’s first note sealed the deal. This dynamic, soul-stirring piece by Ro chak Kohli, lyrics by Kumar, captures the thriller’s investigative fervor. Mohit teams with Parampara Tandon and Ro chak Kohli for a vocal powerhouse that dares to ask the tough questions.
In his words, “I adore numbers that weave narratives with force. ‘Man Hawa’ enchanted me from note one; studio time was an emotional voyage, granting the story its heartbeat.”
It champions fearlessness over fright, verity over quiet, faith over fold. The composition cradles the listener tenderly before erupting in resolve, arming hearts to champion convictions through tempests.
Sinha deems it the movie’s emotional anchor. “Beyond melody, ‘Man Hawa’ is ‘Assi’s spirit—exalting the strength to challenge, combat, and embody truth,” he affirmed. It spotlights the potent inner might from steadfast opposition.
Headlined by Taapsee Pannu, the cast includes Kan e Kusruti, Revathy, Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub, plus special turns by Naseeruddin Shah, Supriya Pathak, Seema Pahwa.
