Shot in Ludhiana, the song is a representation of all the
emotions undergone by the little hearts on being coaxed to achieve higher
goals.
“Hanikarak brings to the forefront the rigorous journey
that led to the making of a female Olympic medal winner. The song beautifully
encapsulates the feelings of Geeta and Babita towards their father (Mahavir
Singh Phogat) during their training phase,” a spokesperson confirmed.
Aamir will launch the song on November 12, with younger
Geeta (Zaira Wasim), Babita (Suhani Bhatnagar) and director Nitesh Tiwari.
The Dangal trailer has already crossed over 29
million views across platforms and is rapidly heading towards reaching the 30
million mark in less than a month of its launch.
The crux of Mahavir Phogat’s biopic, the father-daughter
story, has struck chords with the masses worldwide and is slated to release
on December 23.
