When Armaan Malik first got the call to lay down vocals for Ramayana, the studio was buzzing with the promise of a cross‑continental score. The film, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, Yash and Ravie Dubey, has already drawn attention for pairing an all‑star Indian cast with the sonic heft of AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer.
Recording took place in Mumbai before Malik jet‑skied off for an international tour. He didn’t get to sit beside Rahman in the studio, but the maestro’s trust in Malik’s voice was clear from the brief: let him take the reins on ‘Mangala Sangama’. “That’s the biggest compliment,” Malik said, his tone flat‑tinged with awe.
Singing in Kannada has always felt like home to the 23‑year‑old. He tweeted that the language “carries every scene on her shoulders,” and that fans’ reactions—especially to songs like ‘Ondu Malebillu’—have given him a family in the state. “I never think about charts; it’s the love that counts,” he added, echoing a sentiment that resonates with the song’s lyrical roots.
The track is set to drop with the film’s release on November 5, a date that slots it into a crowded December lineup. With a soundtrack that blends Indian classical textures with global cinematic swells, Ramayana aims to be a benchmark for cross‑genre collaboration.
Fans can already stream ‘Mangala Sangama’ on all major platforms and watch the film’s teaser, where Malik’s voice is a highlight. As the release date inches closer, the buzz is building—this is one soundtrack that promises to turn heads on both national and international screens.
