Saathiya: Akshay Kumar-Rakulpreet Singh Give Romance The 2022 Touch With This Song In ‘CuttPutlli’

Nawaz Kochra

In the last few years, Bollywood has happily embraced the OTT space but looks like now we are also set to notch things up. Yes, I am so amused to see how the content in the digital space is getting better not just in terms of creativity but also the scale. I say so because I just watched the latest song from Akshay Kumar and Rakulpreet Singh‘s thriller CuttPutlli. The song is called Saathiya and it has simply left my jaw dropped. The way it has been shot is simply spectacular, in fact, right at the start of the video we see Akshay and Rakul in a hot air balloon and right then I knew this song is going to be different.

Watch the song here:

From dancing on runways, in the midst of colourful aeroplanes to enjoying the peppy vibe the song has, Saathiya is definitely the romantic number of the new age. With lyrics and music from Tanishk Bagchi, Saathiya has been sung by Zahrah S Khan and Nikhil D’souza.

Talking about the song, Akshay Kumar says,

We had a massive set built in London for this one, from cars to airplanes to even hot air balloon, we had it all. Rakul and I really enjoyed shooting this peppy romantic number. Tanishk has done an impressive job with the music of Saathiya. It’s the tune that you will listen to while driving and even groove at a party, it will grow on you and before you know you’re humming it. It’s one of my favourites from the album.

Rakulpreet also shares her experience of shooting for the song, she says…

Saathiya is one of my most favourite songs from the film. I think its a very refreshing melody, its after very long I have heard a romantic melodious track. I truly believe that this will touch people’s hearts. The energy, the tune, the romance, the peppy upbeat romance that the song has is amazing. We shot this in beautiful locations with 10-11 Rovers and 3-4 big planes and us standing on top of the wings and dancing. And I remember it was cold and I was in a corset but nevertheless I thought its come out well and its truly worth it and of course working with Akshay Sir and matching to his energy and Ganesh master choreographed it, so all in all I think I love this song and really hope that people like it.

Well, I am sure everyone will love the song, I surely am. But what I am also liking is seeing this fresh pairing of Akshay and Rakul on screen. CuttPutlli releases on 2nd September on Disney Plus Hotstar. It is produced by Vashu Bhagnani and Jackky Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh and Pooja Entertainment, and directed by Ranjit M Tewari. The thriller unmasks the killer and decodes the mystery using Arjan’s skills to understand the psyche of the murderer. 

This one sounds quite exciting to me and after seeing Saathiya, I can only imagine the scale this film is made on.
