NDTV
Deva Deva, the film's next track, will release on Monday (August 8)
Brahmastra– Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt's much-awaited film – is making all the right noises. After the release of a riveting trailer and the love ballad Kesariya, the makers of the film are all set to release the second song from the album on Monday (August 8). A day ahead of the release of the track Deva Deva, the director of the film, Ayan Mukerji, has penned a heartfelt note about what the song means to him. Sharing a teaser of the song, Ayan said, “A song in which our protagonist Shiva finally unlocks his powers. And in doing this, he fills all the fire around him with divine energy.”
Explaining further, Ayan Mukerji said, “Like Lord Shiva sitting cross-legged in dhyaan… the first image of meditation in this entire Universe. A song in which our hero Shiva achieves his potential by understanding that to control the fire outside, he needs to first… Feel the fire within.”
Ayan Mukerji further said that Deva Deva has given him a lot since its inception. “A song that has given me so much energy since Pritam (Dada) created it…Given me strength whenever things have been tough… I've truly listened to it before every big meeting I had to take in the last few years. Given me dance when I've played it to my friends in the middle of the night. Given me moments of singing loudly and badly in the car when I'm driving around alone. Most importantly, give soul to my life and Brahmastra (which is one and the same thing)!”
