Infrequently do English songs find their way into Kannada films, with one notable exception being “If you don’t come today…” from ‘Shankar Guru,’ sung by the legendary Dr. Rajakumar. Despite several attempts, no song has quite matched the impact of Dr. Rajakumar’s contribution.
Renowned music composer Arjun Janya, accompanied by singers Aishwarya Rangarajan and Nishan Rai, has crafted an English song for the upcoming Kannada film “BAD.” The release date for this musical endeavor is set for February 5.
Directed by PC Shekhar, produced by SR Venkatesh Gowda, and featuring Nakul Gowda in the lead role, “BAD” has generated significant buzz since its inception, fueled by the attention-grabbing teaser and trailer.
Arjun Janya collaborated closely with the filmmakers to ensure the English song, titled “Rise from the Moon” and written by Nishan Rai, seamlessly integrates with the film’s narrative. The decision to use an English language song was deliberate, aiming to capture audience interest in both the music and the film’s storyline. By opting for English, the creators sought to avoid diverting attention from the plot that a Kannada song might have caused.
The music video for “Rise from the Moon” has been shot in black and white, aligning with the movie’s raw and authentic theme. Arjun Janya, Aishwarya Rangarajan, and Nishan Rai have actively participated in the video, which serves as a promotional tool. The lyrical video of the song is scheduled for release on February 5 and will play a crucial role in promoting the film. Director PC Shekhar emphasizes that the original song will also be featured in the film.
“BAD” boasts art direction by G. Rajasekhar and cinematography by Shakti Shekhar. The dialogue for the film is crafted by Sachin Jadeshwar SB.
Nakul Gowda, known for his role in ‘Preethi Rayabhari,’ takes on the lead role in “BAD,” supported by a star-studded cast including Manvita Harish, Sai Krishna, Apoorva Bhardwaj, Manjunath, Ashwini, and others.
One distinctive aspect of “BAD” is the inclusion of six artists portraying the six roles representing Arishadvarga – Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Mada, Moha, and Matsarya. This creative choice adds a unique dimension to the film’s narrative and characters.
