Joe also heaped praises on the music composer and said that he is overwhelmed with Rahman’s composition. He said, “I have goosebumps every time I watch this anthem. The song is in Hindi but goes so well with the emotions in the film. The song embodies the film's spirit and when it cannot be conveyed through words, it's done by music, that's why Rahman is a musical genius." Avengers: Endgame is slated to release in India on April 26.
