Nawazuddin Siddiqui is gearing up to kick off brother Shamas’s directorial debut, Bole Chudiyan, in Mandawa, a town in the Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan, from July 25. Now, Mirror has learnt that the actor will be rapping a song for the love story today. Titled “Swaggy Chudiyan”, it’s penned by Kumaar and composed by Inder and Sunny Bawra.

Shamas informs that his leading man plays a bangle seller who later sets up his own factory and uses the song to market his merchandise. “When I sounded him out, he was a little hesitant, but after some rehearsals with Kumaar and the composer duo, he got into the groove and now is excited to record for his first rap song,” he says, quick to add that “Swaggy Chudiyan” is not a promotional track but takes the narrative forward.

The rap has a rustic flavour to it and will be filmed in Rajasthan. “Many actors have been singing for their films and considering that the rap was written with Nawaz bhai’s character in mind, we thought it’s best if he sings it himself since it suits his voice well,” adds Shamas.

Tamannaah Bhatia has been roped in to play the leading lady in the Rajesh and Kiren Bhatia production. Anurag Kashyap will be seen in a pivotal role while South actor Kabir Duhan Singh plays the antagonist.
