But Rakshith says that he would like to stay in India. His father gets annoyed by this, yells at him, and calls him a ‘Waste Body’. As Rakshith mulls over the same, the narrative flows into the song.” Right after the song, there in an interesting turning point that alters the course of the movie, adds Arjun.
Sung by Sanjith Hegde, the new song, according to Arjun, is something most youngsters can relate to. “Many can draw parallels between the song and incidents that have taken place in their life. Personally, I have also experienced something similar in my life, and I know that it’s the same case with my friends as well,” he signs off.
