Global Desi Records launched with Chhori, featuring Tanmay Ssingh and Nikki Tamboli

Global Desi Records launched with Chhori, featuring Tanmay Ssingh and Nikki Tamboli

Global Desi Records launched their label with a track called Chhori (meaning Girl, in dialect), featuring Nikki Tamboli of Bigg Boss fame, who is a fashion icon and a supremely talented actress, and popular actor Tanmay Ssingh, marking their first on-screen collaboration.

The song is written and composed by Danish Sabri, who has written the music and lyrics for several Salman Khan and Varun Dhawan movies. It features vocals from Sonu Kakkar and Vee Kapoor, and is directed by Aslam Khan and Ravi Akhade. The lavish production was shot against a colourful backdrop to reflect the song's upbeat mood.

Chhori was launched with much fanfare at Angrezi Dhaba, in Bandra, Mumbai, as guests grooved to the song, along with artistes Nikki and Tanmay.

Shikha Kalra, Alim Morani and Prateek Chaurasia of Global Desi Records, jointly expressed the opinion that, “Chhori is celebratory and high energy all the way through; just the perfect start to the Global Desi Records journey. We at Global Desi Records couldn't be more excited to make our inroad into the music industry with this track." Alim (pronounced Aalim) is from the famous Morani family, known for producing films and organising lavish events. Alim was a great music buff since he was very young and always wanted to do something involving music. Young Alim has achieved that very early on in his career. The label will produce music of all genres, Indian as well as global, film as well as non-film, hence the name Global Desi (local). His partners Shikha Kalra and Prateek Chaurasia are from the real estate background.”

Talking about the song, Nikki Tamboli said, “I’m really looking forward to this song because my passion and love for dance has been triggered by this song. Earlier, I was not a dance freak, but I guess I am becoming one.” Added Tanmay Ssingh, “It was amazing working with Nikki Tamboli on this track and both of us brought our energy and enthusiasm to it in full strength. We hope audiences enjoy it.”

Sonu Kakkar averred, “The genre of the track allowed us to go crazy with the vocals. It’s a complete masala party song and was so much fun to record.”

Co-singer Vee Kapoor felt, “The lyrics of Chhori are desi and quirky, and we just brought in that flavour with our vocals.”

Directors Aslam Khan and Ravi Akhade shared their views, “Everything from the colours, the elements, the props and the outfits used in Chhori reflect the mood and vibe of the track – It’s vibrant and up-tempo, and audiences are going to love this one.”

Global Desi Records presents Chhori produced by Shikha Kalra, Alim Morani & Prateek Chaurasia. With vocals by Sonu Kakkar & Vee Kapoor, the music video, directed by Aslam Khan and Ravi Akhade, featuring Tanmay Ssingh and Nikki Tamboli, is out now, on Global Desi Records’ YouTube channel.

Before the guests left, they were treated to a sampling of Angrezi Dhaba’s menu.
