Has tagged even the stunt choreographer who I'm pretty sure hasn't much to do with the song, but not the singer (Shilpa Rao) or lyricist (Arunraja Kamaraj). A label/director/producer doing this is still par for the course, but from a music director this is very disappointing.

Arijit Singh's new indie single, written by Shloke Lal. The musician takes it upon himself to explore his voice more in the lower registers, since other composers aren't doing it often enough (like he did in Pagglait as well). :) Rooh Jaga Doon:
