Ahead of Maha Shivratri, Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar launched a spiritually evocative song named "Mahakal Chalo" on its way to become the anthem of the February 26, 2025, festival.
The beautiful composition by Vikram Montrose beautifully integrates the writing by Shekhar Astitwa. The heart-wrenching song, choreographed by Ganesh Acharya, is a duet by Akshay Kumar and singer Palash Sen. Akshay Kumar's utmost dedication can be seen in "Mahakal Chalo" while dancing to respect Lord Shiva.
Sharing the song on his official Instagram handle, Akshay Kumar captioned the post, "One more step in devotion to Shiva, Mahakal Chalo! I hope that you will feel the same divine experience I felt while singing. #MahakalChalo, song out now".
Earlier, Palash Sen also wrote an open letter, praising Akshay Kumar for his support. Dropping a picture of the two on IG, the singer shared, "I generally write such posts to highlight an issue that starts bothering me, or to highlight something that purely pisses me off. But today, I write this to highlight something that left me with a smile and pleasantly surprised."
He added, "You were giving me support & a backing no one from Bollywood has, in years.. And we both didn't even know each other. And then I met you & saw your humility, respect & your professionalism. And here we are and Mahakal chalo will release tomorrow.”
Palash Sen concluded saying, “Another thing that's rare to find is a kickass sense of humor.. Your comic timing on and off screen is bang on.. And I feel a person who can make someone smile and laugh, has the lord's blessings. Phhir milenge, Akshay. Stay awesome, stay fit and stay spiritual. Jai Mahakal…”
