Akshay Kumar has ventured into the devotional realm by lending his voice to the track Shambhu. Times Music recently unveiled the music video featuring Akshay on their YouTube channel. In collaboration with Sudhir Yaduvanshi and Vikram Montrose, Akshay has contributed to this Lord Shiva anthem.
In the visually captivating three-minute video, Akshay embodies the essence of a Lord Shiva devotee, clad in a grey dhoti and shawl, adorned with symbolic tattoos and a nose ring. With a messy bun atop his head, he gracefully dances with a conch shell and a trident, exuding divine fervor. The lyrics of the song, composed by Abhinav Shekhar, resonate with spiritual depth.
In a statement, Akshay Kumar expressed, “Shambhu comes from a deep place in my heart that has only been beating with the name Jai Shri Mahakaal! For the longest time I have been a Shiva bhakt but lately my connection with him and devotion towards him has only become deeper. I feel he is the power, he is the love, he is the help we all need, he is the saviour, he is the surrender we all look to surrender to, he is the be-all and end-all. With this song, I just offer a droplet that I am to the infinite consciousness that Shiva is! Jai Shri Mahakaal”
Mandar Thakur, CEO of Times Music stated, “We are thrilled to collaborate with Akshay Kumar on this divine musical venture. Shambhu is not just a song; it’s an extraordinary blend of audio and cinematic visual experience”.
Having recently wrapped up shooting for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, alongside Tiger Shroff, Manushi Chhillar, Alaya F, and Sonakshi Sinha, Akshay gears up for its Eid 2024 release. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and shot across various locales including Mumbai, London, Abu Dhabi, Scotland, and Jordan, the film promises grandeur and Hollywood-style cinematic visuals. Notably, Prithviraj Sukumaran adds intrigue with his portrayal of a villainous character. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is set to hit screens in multiple languages, amplifying anticipation among audiences.
