On Saturday, the team released a short promo which was loved by fans too. While the makers were supposed to release the video on Sunday, they postponed the release to Monday morning, writing, “The wait for #BhairavaAnthem is almost over. Just a little more wait, and you can enjoy it. In the meantime, listen to it on your favourite music streaming platform! #Prabhas x @diljitdosanjh. The full video song will be released tomorrow at 11 am.”
Diljit Dosanjh collaborated
Talking about the singers, Vijay Narayan and Diljit Dosanjh collaborated on the Hindi version. Santhosh Narayanan joined Diljit for the Tamil, and Deepak Blue accompanied the Punjabi singer for the Telugu version.
Fans react
As soon as the song was released on music platforms, fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their thoughts. A fan wrote, “Already naaku ekkesindi #BhairavaAnthem. Hindi and Tamil are good, but they repeat it in Telugu. (I already liked Bhairav anthem. I like it in Hindi and Tamil, but after listening to it repeatedly I have started liking it in Telugu too)”
Another wrote, “I am usually not a fan of Punjabi songs in every Hindi movie. I had my objections to #Bhairava anthem. But the way the tune matches with the Punjabi lyrics is really amazing. The non-Punjabi lyrics are also great and make the character clear.” Fans were also thrilled to see Prabhas in Punjabi attire for the song.
