I've always been a singer first, then an actor: Manasi Parekh on lending her voice to Maharani title track
The trailer of Maharani has been creating buzz, and the film is now drawing attention with its music. The makers have released the title track, a rooted composition that highlights themes of strength, identity, and womanhood.
Sung by National Award-winning actor
Manasi Parekh
, who also plays the lead in the film, the track features additional vocals by Jahnvi Shrimankar. It is composed by Parth Bharat Thakkar, with lyrics by Humayun Makrani.
Presented by Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak among others, this Viral Shah-directorial is scheduled to hit theatres on August 1. The title track offers listeners a glimpse into the film's emotional landscape and cultural setting.
Blending folk elements with a subtle lyrical narrative, the song aims to reflect the overall tone of the film, understated yet impactful.
Reflecting on her experience, Manasi shares, 'I've always been a singer first, then an actor. Music grounds me, it's where I find both calm and chaos. When I signed Maharani, I felt a strong personal connection to the story. Singing the title track became an extension of my performance and helped me connect even more deeply with the character.

Collaborating with Jahnvi, whose voice brings a distinct texture to the track, was a rewarding experience.
I feel the song captures the spirit of the film, dignity, quiet strength, and everyday resilience. Singing for a film I also act in makes the storytelling more complete and personal for me.'
The track captures the emotional journey of the two central characters in Maharani. It challenges traditional portrayals and focuses on strength, duality, and inner transformation. The music video, featuring Manasi Parekh and Shraddha Dangar, complements the track by presenting the protagonists in a stylised visual narrative that echoes their individual arcs.

'The Ba***ds of Bollywood': Aryan Khan says he was nervous, admitted to using teleprompter
Aryan Khan , who has made his directorial debut with the upcoming streaming show 'The Ba***ds of Bollywood', had fun at the stage, and also engaged in a banter with the media during the launch of the first look of his show. The first look was unveiled at the YRF studios in the Andheri area of Mumbai on Wednesday. During the event, Aryan, who is also the son of the Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan , spoke with the media stationed at the venue. He admitted to being nervous, and shared how he covered all corners for his first media address. He told the media, "I have been practising nonstop! In fact, I am so nervous that the line is included in the teleprompter. If there is no electricity here all of a sudden, I have kept a paper ready, along with a torch. And even then, if I make a mistake, my dad is here (Shah Rukh turned to show a printout of the speech pasted on his back). After all of this, if I make a mistake, please forgive me, this is my first time". SRK perfectly fulfilled his daddy duties as he introduced the cast of the show in his inimitable style and playful humour, including Bobby Deol, Lakshya , Sahher Bambba , Manoj Pahwa, Mona Singh, Manish Chaudhari, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh , and Vijayant Kohli with Rajat Bedi and Gautami Kapoor . by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Talking about his son's debut, SRK earlier said in a statement, "It's a proud moment to see Aryan carve out his vision with such clarity and edge. This is storytelling that's sharp, self-aware, and unapologetically bold, and I think audiences on Netflix will connect to the heart of it as much as its style". Elsewhere, during the event, Aryan also joked that the teleprompter gave up, and said, "Now, I won't say anything. Instead, I'll let me my work speak". Produced by Red Chillies Entertainments Pvt. Ltd, the series is created by Aryan Khan, and co-creators Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan, all of whom have also written the series. 'The Ba***ds of Bollywood' is set to drop on September 18.

The song defines Chandra's character as "an alchemist flying solo." Chandra, we are told, is omnipresent, eternal and the pulse of all creation.

Interestingly, the song also describes the character as "someone from realms beyond and a heir to a fallen world." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo It may be recalled that on Monday, Dulquer Salmaan had announced the character names in the much-awaited film, which will incidentally be Malayalam cinema's first woman superhero film.
