In a statement, Ravi Kishan said about the experience, “This has been a fun experience for me, to be recognised by Coke Studio Bharat and to work together with young talents who bring in different genres to the platform. I have sung a few songs in the past that had a traditional touch, but to be a part of traditional and new-age music together was a thrilling experience.”

The new season of Coke Studio Bharat will feature 50 artistes coming together to perform 10 tracks. A Tamil-language spinoff has also been announced. The Pakistani leg of the franchise witnessed unprecedented success last year, particularly through the song “Pasoori,” performed by Ali Sethi and Shae Gill.
