Sung by Aushim Khetarpal, “Maya Moh” brings together spirituality, devotion and contemporary music, with a message that goes beyond language and geographical boundaries. The music has been composed by Rupesh Mishra and Shailendra Mishra, while the lyrics have been penned by Shailendra Mishra. One Krishna. One Message. One World.

The Hindi version is now available, while five additional language versions are planned subsequently. Aushim Khetarpal will also lend his voice to the different language versions, making “Maya Moh” an ambitious multilingual musical journey. With Janmashtami around the corner, the release of “Maya Moh” comes at a significant time. Drawing inspiration from the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, the song touches upon themes of faith, surrender, inner strength and finding a higher purpose. Rather than being positioned merely as a devotional track, “Maya Moh” attempts to connect the spiritual philosophy of Krishna with contemporary listeners. Its message of hope, courage and faith is intended to resonate with audiences across generations. Aushim Khetarpal’s Devotional Voice Aushim Khetarpal brings an emotional and soulful quality to the song through his vocals.

The Musical Prelude to Children of God “Maya Moh” forms an important part of the musical journey leading up to Children of God. By releasing the song before the film, the makers are giving audiences an early glimpse into the spiritual and emotional world of the movie. The song also sets the tone for a film that explores themes of spirituality, humanity, faith and the Divine, building anticipation for its theatrical release. With “Maya Moh” now out, the makers are looking beyond a conventional film-song release and envisioning a global musical journey inspired by Lord Krishna. One Krishna. One Message. One World. Because while language may change and music may evolve, the message of Krishna continues to remain universal. Song link: https://youtu.be/fznP6OgJiPM?si=RcMVFwnyhw976tXP

*SET’s Indian Game Show with Bharti and Harssh Set to Bring Celebrities Out of Their Comfort Zones*

*SET’s Indian Game Show with Bharti and Harssh Set to Bring Celebrities Out of Their Comfort Zones* *Mumbai: Indian Game Show with Bharti and Harssh* is set to bring celebrities into an environment where they can step away from their usual public personas and participate in games and activities alongside a live audience. Speaking about what viewers can expect from the show, *Harssh Limbachiyaa* shared that the format will allow celebrities to open up and showcase a different side of themselves. Explaining what he believes audiences will enjoy most, *Harssh Limbachiyaa* said, _"I think audience sab se jyada ye enjoy karegi ki celebrities jo ek shell mein rehte hain, ek zone mein rehte hain, ki nhi yaar kuch celebrities duniya ke saamne khul kar nahin aa paate. Lekin yahan par har celebrity aapko apne zone mai khulte huye dikhenge, jo bhi unke problem honge yaa jo bhi kuch audience hoti hai kuch celebrities hote hai jo duniya ke saamne khul nahin paate, waise yahan par aapko celebrities ekdum khulte hue nazar aayenge. At the same time, jo hamari studio audience hai, woh real audience hai, jinko poore desh mein se invite kar rahe hain. So ek audience aur celebrity ke beech ki jo line thi, woh iss show mein disappear hone wali hai, kyunki audience bhi utna hi mazaa karne wali hai, utne hi games khelne wali hai jitne games celebrities khelne wale hain."_ (I think what the audience will enjoy the most is seeing celebrities step out of the shell or comfort zone they usually stay in. Some celebrities may not be able to open up completely in front of the world, but here, you will see them in their own zone and in a much more natural setting. Whatever their inhibitions may be, you’ll see them enjoying themselves and participating wholeheartedly. At the same time, our studio audience is a real audience, invited from across the country. So, the line between the audience and the celebrities is going to disappear on this show, because the audience will have just as much fun and will play just as many games as the celebrities) With celebrities stepping outside their familiar zones and audience becoming an active part of the games, *Indian Game Show with Bharti and Harssh* aims to create an environment where the distinction between celebrity and audience participation becomes less defined. The format brings both together through games and entertainment, allowing viewers to see celebrities in a different setting while allowing the audience to be an integral part of the show. The show has seen names like Jannat Zubair, Abhishek Kumar, Akansha Chamola, Karan Patel, and many more _*Tune in to Indian Game Show with Bharti and Harssh, starting 24th August, Monday to Friday at 8:00 PM, only on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.*_

Award-Winning Lyricist Ginny Diwan on her Mirzapur journey from 3 seasons of the show to Mirzapur: The Movie, “Returning for the film felt like coming back to a world I know well” Award-winning lyricist Ginny Diwan returns to the much-loved Mirzapur universe with ‘Vaaroon Forever’, featured in ‘Mirzapur: The Movie’ in both its original and reprise versions. Having been part of Mirzapur since its first season, Ginny once again brings her lyrical expertise to the big-screen adaptation, tapping into the paradox at the heart of Mirzapur and finding tenderness and vulnerability within a world shaped by violence, power and revenge. Composed by Anand Bhaskar, ‘Vaaroon-Forever’ is sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Romy, while Shreya also features on the reprise. For Ginny, Vaaroon Forever offered a space to explore a softer side of characters whose feelings often remain unspoken. While the song has a romantic feel, her lyrics stay rooted in the world of Mirzapur and its characters. She approached the song by first understanding the characters and the situation, and then allowing the lyrics to take shape naturally, bringing out a more personal side of them without taking away from the intensity of the world they inhabit. This also marks another collaboration between Ginny and Bhaskar, who have worked together on several songs across the Mirzapur series. Talking about her journey with the Mirzapur saga and returning for the film, acclaimed lyricist Ginny Diwan shares, “Mirzapur has been part of my journey since the very first season, so returning for the film felt like coming back to a world I know well. Every season has brought something different to the writing, and this song adds another dimension to that storytelling. Beneath its larger-than-life characters and intense situations, Mirzapur has always carried very intense human emotions, and that gives me room to explore as a lyricist. The aim was to let the words complement the story and the music, rather than simply serving the melody. Hearing those words come alive through Shreya Ghoshal and Romy’s voices was very special. Shreya brings such depth to every line, while Romy adds a unique texture of his own. Watching the two voices come together was truly memorable for me.” “Anand and I have known each other and worked together for a long time, so there is a certain ease between us when we work on a song. He understands the nuances of the lyrics and knows how to bring the composition and the words together. Every song I have written for Mirzapur has taught me something new about finding the right voice for a character. It has also pushed me to step outside my own vocabulary and write from a place that feels true to the story. Creating ‘Vaaroon Forever’ with Anand was a very fulfilling experience, and I’m looking forward to seeing how audiences receive it”, she added, speaking about her work with composer Anand Bhaskar. With work across films, music and advertising, Ginny Diwan has built a diverse body of work as a lyricist. An ITA Award winner for her lyrics in the series Masoom, she has also worked on films and series including OMG 2, Baaghi 2, Baaghi 3, JugJugg Jeeyo, Showtime, Jai Mummy Di and Modern Love Mumbai, among others. Ginny has been part of Mirzapur since its first season and continued through Seasons 2 and 3, during which she wrote all the songs including Tittar Bittar, Munna Rap and Duaa. With Mirzapur: The Movie, Ginny returns with “Vaaroon-Forever”. Directed by Gurmeet Singh and produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani under Excel Entertainment, Mirzapur: The Movie brings the popular franchise to the big screen, with Ginny continuing her association with its music. --
