Development

Ajay-Atul was approached by Amruta Khanvilkar and Prasad Oak to compose the music for the film. This marked the duo's comeback to the Marathi film industry after a four-year absence. Deepali Vichare choreographed the dance, while Guru Thakur wrote the lyrics. Shreya Ghosal recorded her portion of the song in a single day, whereas the entire song took three days to record. [2] The song was shot in three days. Khanvilkar described the song as "one of the most challenging song sequences" she has ever performed. Khanvilkar's look for the Chandra song features a 9.5 metre-long Kaashtha saree which was stitched around her while draping, and she wore intricate real gold jewellery designed by P. N. Gadgil Jewellers featuring Nath, Thushi, and Kolhapuri Saaj, which are traditional Maharashtrian ornaments. Additionally, she also wore ghungroo weighing up to 3 kg on each leg. [3]

Picturization

The song's music video features Amruta Khanvilkar and Adinath Kothare. The song depicts Chandramukhi's introduction in the film, and Daulatrao's first glance at her occurs as she is performing a private lavani in front of him in a beautiful hall. The song portrays Chandramukhi's characteristics from the inside out. [4]

Release

The song was officially released on 29 March 2022 on the Everest Marathi YouTube channel. [5] Before the release, Khanvilkar had performed the song at an event held at the Royal Opera House to unveil Chandramukhi's face. [6] The song was released on almost all online streaming platforms on 31 March 2022.
