Aamir Khan’s Satyamev Jayate cup 2 anthem: Kiran turns singer with Toofan Ala

Directed by Shri Nagraj Manjule of Sairat fame, the anthem of Aamir Khan’s Satyamev Jayate, Toofan Ala, is composed by leading music directors Ajay-Atul and sung by Aamir’s wife, filmmaker and Paani Foundation’s Co-founder Kiran Rao.

If Aamir Khan’s Dangal is being hailed as one of Bollywood’s most exciting films ever, here’s one more from his stable: Toofan Ala, an inspiring anthem for his pet project, the second edition of Paani Foundation’s Satyamev Jayate Water Cup. It was launched by Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis in an event at the Sahyadri State Guest House in Mumbai on January 3.

Directed by Shri Nagraj Manjule of Sairat fame, Toofan Ala is composed by music directors Ajay-Atul and sung by Aamir’s wife, filmmaker and Paani Foundation’s co-founder Kiran Rao. Written by Guru Thakur, the music video features people from the villages of Maharashtra along with several Marathi celebrities including Sai Tamhankar, Sonali Kulkarni, Akash Thosar and Sunil Barve. Aamir’s Dangal co-star Fatima Sana Shaikh is also seen in the video.

Talking about her experience, Kiran said at the launch, “I was made to sing the song on my husband’s diktat. I had fun working with Ajay-Atul and Nagraj. I was nervous in the studio but Ajay and Atul encouraged me to sing.”

“It was my dream to work with Nagraj. In an interview too I was asked is there any director I want to work with and I said Nagraj. My dream came true so I have to thank my husband,” she added.
