Watch: Akshay Kumar Turns Singer With Devotional Music Video ‘Shambhu’, Leaves Netizens Impressed
Akshay Kumar, who is gearing up for the release of ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’, dropped the music video of ‘Shambhu’.
2023 was a mixed bag for Bollywood star Akshay Kumar, who has proved his acting mettle with movies like ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’, ‘Pad Man’, ‘Special 26’, ‘Mission Mangal’ and ‘Hera Pheri’. While his first release of 2023 ‘Selfiee’ tanked at the box office, he tasted critical and commercial success with ‘OMG 2’. After the success of ‘OMG 2’, expectations were high from his third release of 2023 ‘Mission Raniganj’. However, the film turned out to be a box office dud. Now, Akshay Kumar is gearing up for the release of his upcoming Hindi movie ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’.
Amid the buzz around ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’, Akshay Kumar dropped the music video of ‘Shambhu’. The Bollywood actor lent his voice to the devotional track, alongside singers Sudhir Yaduvanshi and Vikram Montrose with lyrics penned by Abhinav Shekhar. Directed by Ganesh Acharya, the song pays tribute to Lord Shiva.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Akshay Kumar wrote, “Our divine tribute, #Shambhu, is here for all to experience! #ShambhuOutNow.”
