Lead actor of the film Irrfan Khan said, “This song was very important for the film. That is why we kept discussing it with Vishal sahab (Bhardwaj) since many days about how we should be doing it. The idea was there in my mind how it should be, that it should become a youth anthem. It should talk to people and do something to them. Not just for the sake of entertainment you sing a song and dance to it, dance but that feeling should remain in you. Vishal sahab took a lot of time and one day he said, ‘you stop telling, let me do it the way I do it’. Then he came up with his own version and the lyrics written by Irshad (Kamil) is fantastic.”

Right from the trailer of the film the tagline “Desh so raha hai” is seen and even features prominently in “Dama Dam” as well.

About the line, director Nishikant Kamat said, “It is the system’s issue which we want to present. ‘Desh so raha hai’ is a very symbolic line. We have been sleeping over so many issues which means we are unaware about so many issues. We don’t know about numerous things which are lawfully ours, which are our rights according to the law book.”

Madaari is set to be released on July 15.
