After a small break from independent music, Ayushmann Khurrana is back with another single ‘Chan Kitthan’ that is produced by T-Series’ Bhushan Kumar. After working together on Ik Vaari and Yahin Hoon Main, the duo will now release the recreated version of the old Punjabi Ghazal. The song on unrequited love is composed by Rochak Kohli with lyrics penned by Kumaar.
Ayushmann who has given the vocals for the song and also features in the video says, “I was really excited to record and shoot for Chan Kitthan. Yes, it will be my single after two years but it was because I was busy with three films last year. But each film has a song I have sung, so didn’t get a chance to record an independent song. But as I got a gap between shoots this time, I went ahead a recorded by song.”

Ayushmann who will be seen as an undercover cop for the first time adds, “Suresh Triveni wanted to show me in a different light. I haven’t played a cop in any of my previous films. So he chose to have a character and look I haven’t been seen before in. Suresh himself is a very exciting director to work with. I did a guest appearance in his directorial debut and I loved it. I developed a good bond with him there onwards and wanted to work together. I am glad we are doing this.”
Bhushan Kumar on his next with Ayushmann says, “We are glad to work with Ayushmann again on this beautiful rendition. We have worked together before and it’s a comfort we share that enables us to make good music.
