Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar released a new song from their upcoming social drama, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha. The holi song showcases the age-old custom of Latth Maar Holi followed in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, where the women beat the men of the village with sticks.
The new holi song is sung by Sonu Nigam and Palak Muchhal and it has been composed by Manas-Shikhar.
Watch the song here:
Toilet: Ek Prem Katha highlights the problem of open defecation in India. The story revolves around Keshav (Akshay) who is on a mission to win his woman’s heart by building a toilet in his house.
The film has been criticised for promoting overt stalking in a song, even while it tackles the essential subject of open defecation.
Toilet: Ek Prem Katha is directed by Shree Narayan Singh and also stars Anupam Kher, Sana Khan and Divyendu Sharma.
The Akshay Kumar-starrer is slated for release on 11 August.
