'Horaata', The First single from Rakshit Shetty's Sapta Sagaradaache Ello Out
Ever since it was announced that the team behind Godhi Banna Sadharana Mykattu i.e. actor Rakshit Shetty, director Hemanth Rao and music composer Charan Raj would be reuniting with Sapta Sagaradaache Ello, Kannada cinephiles have been anticipating yet another soulful soundtrack. More than three years after the announcement, the makers finally released the first single from the film. Titled 'Horaata', the song is a blend of hip-hop/rap, voiced by MC Bijju with a classical refrain from Keerthan Holla. Charan Raj composes the song while Bijju provides the lyrics for the rap with prominent lyricist Kiran Kaverappa conceptualising and supervising the lyrics.
The song mostly features MC Bijju, who provides soulful bars, lamenting about separation from a significant other, likening it to a prison and the constant fight (Horaata) to reach the other. The song also features classical music elements such as the alaap and swaras, which are sung by Keerthan Holla. The film is said to be a romantic saga between Manu and Priya and how they deal with their relationship when Manu ends up in prison.
The song was is accompanied by an animated lyric video. The video tells a fantastical story of a couple on a boat on a tumultuous sea rowing towards a lighthouse. As they keep rowing, a giant bird picks up the man, takes him far away and throws him over. As he falls, he is saved by another bird. Meanwhile, the woman, who is trying to cross the sea falls into the water as her boat capsizes. Sharks surround her as she looks up at the sky to see the man coming to rescue her on the bird which saved him. The video ends with both of them reaching the lighthouse while sitting on the bird.
The film stars Rakshit Shetty, Rukmini Vasanth and Chaitra J Achar. Advaitha Gurumurthy and Sunil S Bharadwaj serve as the cinematographer and editor respectively. The film is backed by Rakshit Shetty under the Paramvah Studios banner. The film will be released in two parts, namely Side A and Side B on September 1 and October 20 respectively.
