Tips Music with Gunaa Teamworks releases the first song from the historical drama. The song titled – ‘Mallika-Mallika’ is released in 5 languages – Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada on Tips Official YouTube Channel and its various Regional Channels.
Mani Sharma, the revered music composer talking about ‘Mallika-Mallika’ said, “The whole thought behind Mallika-Mallika was to create a melody that depicts emotions of longing and waiting for a beloved. We’ve used authentic Indian instruments like the santoor in major portions of the song with percussion. A majority of classical instruments were used throughout the song to recreate that era. Ramya Behara has done a beautiful job of translating the emotions of Shakuntala through her voice into the song. And Prashant Ingole has created a deeper impact with the words of Mallika-Mallika.”
