Palash Sen was effusive in his praise of Akshay Kumar’s musical abilities. “It was incredible working with Akshay, who, despite his superstardom, remains humble and respectful. He’s a thorough professional. He’s a true musician at heart. When we arrived on set, he knew the entire song by heart, while I was still struggling with the lyrics. He kept saying he’s not a singer, but I must admit, he’s a naturally gifted one,” he said.

He also expressed gratitude for the opportunity, noting that despite his background in the independent music scene, he felt welcomed. ” I’m glad Akshay thought of me and there was no bias against me. I didn’t feel that I’m from the indie space. If Akshay likes a song, he knows how to go about it. He’s open to experimentation. We didn’t know each other, but he brought me on board.”

The music video features both Akshay Kumar and Palash Sen performing together, and fans can look forward to seeing them unite in their devotion to Mahadev on screen.
