Singer Raj Pandit's new music single Maahaul was launched by filmmaker Rohit Shetty at an event in Mumbai on May 12.

Composed and produced by the singer himself, the new song has been written by IP Singh. Raj and Vedika Kaul Vyas feature in the music video of the song.

Rohit Shetty launched the song video by giving an action clap in the presence of composer duo Salim-Sulaiman. “Usually the clap is given at the beginning of a shot. I hope the action clap at the song launch is the beginning of all things amazing for Raj and their entire team.”

Describing the song as incredible, the Chennai Express director also said he couldn’t have been more proud of the singer-composer.

“Maahaul has been a beautiful treat to the ears. I have worked with Raj before and can vouch that the boy is extremely talented. Not only is he a great singer but also a fantastic dancer. I am sure he's going to go a really long way,” said Salim.Raj couldn’t contain his excitement over his first romantic music number. “It is a song that will always be close to my heart. From its soothing composition to the way it has been aesthetically shot, the overall outcome is pure love,” he said.

Talking about Rohit Shetty launching the song, Raj said he believed in the Midas touch of the director. “Rohit Sir has a certain cracking vision when it comes to action, comedy and romance. The way love is portrayed in his movies is just so magical. I genuinely believe that Rohit sir's Midas touch turns everything into gold — I genuinely hope it works for Maahaul.”

Talking about her part in the song video, Vedika said she had a great time filming for Maahaul. “I am so thankful to Raj for getting me this project and extremely honored to be a part of this song,” she added.Presented by Merchant Records and GoDaddy India, Maahaul is out on Salim-Sulaiman’s YouTube channel and also available on all music-streaming platforms.
