Sarfira second song Khudaya out: Akshay Kumar and Radhikka Madan reconcile in soulful qawwali track
The Akshay Kumar starrer Sarfira is inching towards its big banner release. Ahead of the same, the makers have now released the second single from the film — Khudaya. Akshay of course dominates screen time in the 3-minute long video montage but the audience is also treated to a thorough glimpse of Radhikka's role in the film.
The song captures Akshay and Radhikka's characters getting into a heated spat prior to taking time off each other. The soulful tune aptly captures the emotion of both feeling lost without the other as the montage features clips of their happier times together. The qawwali track concludes with an emotional reconciliation, definitely worth tuning in for.
Composed and sung by Suhit Abhyankar, the track also features vocals from Sagar Bhatia and Neeti Mohan. The lyrics have been penned by Manoj Muntashir.
Though Radhikka also featured in the first track from the film, Maar Udi, fans of the actor will get to see much more of her with Khudaya. Akshay and Radhikka also shared the music video for the track to their respective Instagram handles with the caption "For the love that stands by every Sarfira…".
