Grammy nominee Raja Kumari’s special track for Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan

Ever since Shah Rukh Khan unveiled the Jawan prevue, it has become a talking point with the film trade circuit and also the audiences. What makes the teaser of south director Atlee’s Bollywood directorial debut interesting is that it also features King Khan Rap, a high-energy captivating track especially written for the actor-producer, by the extraordinary artiste, Raja Kumari.

While much applause has been pouring in for the power-packed prevue, lots of fans have been lauding the film’s soundtrack as well. And one integral part of the movie’s discography is the Grammy Award nominated singer Raja Kumari. After watching the teaser from the film, she couldn’t contain her excitement and penned a heart-warming note for SRK.

Raja Kumari took to social media and wrote, “Thank you, Anirudh and Shah Rukh Khan for calling me to write and perform the title track! Can’t wait for the world to hear it.”

The Indian-American Rapper is recognised globally for her incredible talent and versatility. Being a Grammy-nominated artist and having performed at renowned music festivals like Coachella, Raja Kumari’s track in Jawan further adds to the excitement and appeal about the big screen masala entertainer.

Raja Kumari, has not only thrived in the Indian and international music scene but has also lent her distinctive voice to some of Bollywood’s most iconic jams. Her collaboration with notable artists such as Gwen Stefani, Iggy Azalea, Fifth Harmony and John Legend, has solidified her status as a force to be reckoned with.

The King Khan Rap, written and performed by Raja Kumari, brings an electrifying and dynamic element to the film. The rap encapsulates the essence of SRK in the film, serving as a testament to the star power of King Khan. Raja Kumari’s undeniable talent and unique style infuses the rap with an energy that perfectly complements the grand scale of Jawan.

Currently in the various stages of post-production, the big budget unapologetic larger-than-life entertainer also stars Lady Superstar Nayanthara, Priyamani, Sanya Malhotra and Vijay Sethupathi as the antagonist. Besides, Atlee’s directorial venture also features Deepika Padukone and Sanjay Dutt in pivotal parts. The prevue has already given a glimpse of Deepika in an action avatar. Sanjay shot his portion with SRK during the last schedule of the talkie portion. While it remains to be seen if the makers share any dekko of his role in the trailer, which will be unveiled in August, we hear Sanju has quite a punching part in the narrative.
