We tried to adapt the flavour of Radha Krishna’s love story, says Raaj Shaandilya.

The moment Radhe Radhe song came out in 2019, it became a rage. It features Ayushmann Khurrana dancing as Lord Krishna. On the auspicious occasion of Janamashtami today, Director Raaj Shaandilyaa speaks exclusively to Rohit Bhatnagar and reveals how his team gave a spin to Radha Krishna’s love story in the song.

"Radhe Radhe was the most expensive song of the film. We erected a huge set in Film City. Back then, there was no song on Radha Krishna in commercial films until this one came. It was a fun shooting for around two and half days. We especially designed the jacket that Ayushmann wore while he played Krishna in the song. We tried to adapt the flavour of Radha Krishna’s love story. As per the mythology, Radha is from Barsana but in the song, we kept Gokul Ki Radha, since Ayushmann’s character Karam is from Gokul in the film.”
