Composer duo Ajay-Atul who had scored the music of Hrithik Roshan’s 2012 film Agneepath, has reunited with the actor for Super 30, and their first song is the quirkily-titled “Jugraphia”. Featuring Hrithik and his love interest, Mrunal Thakur, the romantic song’s lyrics (written by Amitabh Bhattacharya) are a blend of Hindi and Bihari words. Mirror has learnt that the song marks another reunion for Hrithik.

Udit Narayan, who had given playback for some songs in the actor’s 2000 debut, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, going on to sing for him in subsequent projects, has lent his voice to “Jugraphia” along with Shreya Ghosal. “I have not been this excited for a song in a while now. My last hit was 'Radha' from Student Of The Year (2012), and I am sure this one will be even bigger than that,” the singer said.

Describing it as a typical Bollywood romantic number, Udit informed that since the song required a specific diction, he had to rehearse with the composer-duo at their studio to get the pitch right. “Ajay and Atul had discussed the song with me almost a year ago. We did several sittings before recording it. It has the potential to become an earworm,” he added.

According to Udit, the song also conveys a social message. “It’s a conversational melody which talks about love being above wealth. Hrithik’s character is poor but is able to keep his better half happy,” he signed off.
