MUMBAI: Actor and singer Ayushmann Khurrana has released his single O Heeriye and says it is unlike his previous songs Paani Da Rang and Saadi Gali which were more about heartbreak. “This song is very special,” says the 29-year-old, who released the song on his birthday.
“There was a lot of catharsis and a lot of heartbreak behind Paani Da Rang and Saadi Gali. This one [O Heeriye] is a very happy and romantic song,” Ayushmann said at the launch of the single. “O Heeriye is Punjabi folk-rock but the lyrics are slightly different. Also, I have deliberately used lesser Punjabi in this song,” the actor added.
The song’s tagline says “However messy it is … always be in love.” Ayushmann says being messy is the real fun in love. “Love can be messy, always. If you are in a steady relationship, there is no fun without being messy and that’s part of life, it’s all fun,” he said.
He has composed this song together with his long-time friend Rochak Kohli. Talking about his film projects, he is currently shooting for Yash Raj films’ untitled project with Sonam Kapoor and also has a biopic of a freedom fighter lined up.
Elaborating on why he chose his own birthday to release the first single, Ayushmann said, “Lots of people were asking me when is my next song releasing and I told them it will be in my next film. The film will release next year, so I though it is a good idea to come out with a single in the meantime.”
