Working with the Jenu Kuruba tribe for Bheema was enriching: Charan Raj

The team behind Vijay Kumar’s next, Bheema has brought together 20 tribal singers from the Nagarahole forest for the song Boom Boom Bengaluru, releasing today on online platforms.
Music composer Charan Raj explains, “Working with the tribal community for this film was enriching. Vijay sir had actually met them during his regular visits to Nagarahole forest. The Jenu Kuruba tribe has a rich cultural tradition of singing and entertaining visitors.When Vijay suggested incorporating their talent into the song Boom Boom Bengaluru, it resonated with me immediately. Being from Coorg, I am familiar with these traditional songs. We have given the song a modern touch, and its folk lyrics will captivate the younger crowd.”

“These talented singers brought their own percussion and native instruments, infusing the song with a unique and captivating sound. This collaboration not only enriched the film’s music but also exposed me to their thriving culture, a vibrant aspect of our society that often goes unnoticed,” he adds.
On collaborating with Vijay for the second time, Charan says, “Vijay sir has a hunger for innovation and is always open to experiment.”
Talking about the film’s other numbers like Bad Boys, I Love You Kane, and Don’t Worry Baby Chinnamma, Charan Raj says, “The positive response to our songs shows that there’s a lot of interest in this film, which is a fantastic sign for us before the release.”
