Even as his latest track picturised on Ram Charan is being lauded for blending Punjabi and south Indian music, Daler Mehndi says he has been bridging the cultural divide right from the onset of his career

North meets south in the latest release of Game Changer as Punjabi music veteran Daler Mehndi renders a track for actor Ram Charan. Jaragandi, which translates to ‘let it happen’, is set against Punjabi beats, even as it boasts a south Indian flavour. “The song was the vision of the music composer Thaman [S], with whom my last song, Banti poola janki, was created. He said he had a number that required my voice. I have sung both the Telugu and Hindi versions of this song. At the time of dubbing this number, I did not know who I was singing for, or even the film’s plot. I simply enjoyed the energetic composition, as I love Thaman’s work,” says Mehndi.
