Sung by Himesh Reshammiya and penned by Irshad Kamil, Kangan Ruby shows Bhumi Pednekar's character teasing Akshay's Lala Kedarnath for being so excited at someone else's wedding but not taking any initiative for his own. He tries to woo her and promises to bring the customary bangle to fix their marriage one day.

Talking about the film, Akshay had told PTI, "Like, I did Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Padman. Similarly, in this film we are not only talking about dowry but also offering a solution to the country and the world. With every film I want to deconstruct myself. I want to break my image and then do something else. My criteria has always been to challenge myself. When I joined the industry, I used to only do action. It took me a long time to break out of it."

The film is set to hit theatres on August 11, coinciding with the festival of Raksha Bandhan. It is Akshay's third release in the year 2022 after Bachchhan Paandey and Samrat Prithvirajn and will clash in theatres with Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha. Written by Himanshu Sharma and Kanika Dhillon, the film is produced by Colour Yellow Productions, Zee Studios, Alka Hiranandani in association with Cape Of Good Films.
