A Reliance Entertainment and KriArj Entertainment bursting onto our screens with overseas release on 11th August 2017

 

What is a love film without the love song? Get ready to sing along as the romantic duet between Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar from Toilet: Ek Prem Katha finally releases.

 

Teaser clips of “Hans Mat Pagli (male version) and ‘Hans Mat Pagle’ (female version) flushed their way into circulation earlier this week, instantly attractinglovers around the world and allowing them to enjoy that famous “aww”moment.

 

The romantic number is earthy, upbeat and infectious, much like our lead couple’s desi love story. This old school melody will undoubtedly be a classic, just like the film it symbolises.

 

Talking about the song Akshay Kumar revealed, “Once during the shoot, I was travelling by road with the film’s writer Siddharth Garima, when I noticed that the truck ahead had the line Hans Mat Pagli Pyaar Ho Jayega. I felt that it went with the milieu of our film and asked the writers if they could pen the lyrics with this hook line. We have four desi romantic numbers in our movie.”

 

Adding about the song, the lead actress Bhumi Pednekar, said, “By the time we finished shooting this song, the villagers had taken to it. There’s a certain innocent flirtiness to the lyrics, which you instantly connect with when you listen to the song. It also shows how romance in small towns and many cities begin.”

 

Composed by Vickey Prasad and crooned in the melodious voices of Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghosal, the songs are shot in Mathura and Agra.
