Mumbai: The music campaign of Shoojit Sircar’s upcoming family comedy drama, Piku, has kick started with a peppy, breezy track called, The Journey Song. Sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Anupam Roy, the number features Amitabh, Deepika and Irrfan as they (Baba, Piku and Rana ) set out on a memorable road trip that turns into a rollercoaster ride. This also marks the Bollywood debut of Anupam Roy as a singer, music composer and lyricist. Roy is one of the most talented musicians in Tollywood.
The makers of the film released a 20 sec teaser of the Journey Song on Tuesday, which became an instant hit on social media with a lot of fans commenting on its freshness, lilting tunes and soothing lyrics. Incidentally, post the launch of Piku’s trailer on March 25th, a lot of fans and music lovers tweeted to the talent and to the producers, expressing their love for the Journey song, a part of which was used in the 2nd half of the trailer. The response was so overwhelming that the makers decided to launch the music campaign with this song itself!
