Niladri Kumar's decade-old track re-created for Niruttara

One of the most popular tracks from

Apurva Kasaravalli

's directorial debut

Niruttara

is

Hoo Mele

Hani. The song has been on the charts and is a crowd favourite. A little-known fact is that the song has a history and composer Niladri Kumar has re-created one of his decade-old compositions, Iris Peg from the album Priority, especially for this film. 'When

Niladri

decided to re-create this track, I was naturally the first choice, since I had sung the original. They asked me if I could manage singing in

Kannada

and I realized it wouldn't be hard since I am used to singing jingles in different languages for ads. So, with a little guidance, I got to sing it right,' reveals June.
The singer, who has a popular fan base in

Bengal

, worked with Niladri after over a decade with this track. 'He wanted me to sing some other tracks too, but I was on a break due to some personal reasons and couldn't sing them. Eventually, towards the end of their production process, I was called by the team to hum for the song Aaha Identha. I got to listen to the other tracks and also got to see parts of the film. I'm looking forward to it,' adds June.
