Having hit the headlines for his performance at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s recently concluded wedding, Daler Mehndi has his eyes set on July 25, when his latest song, Ankhiyan te ja ladiyan releases. Infused with Balochi nuances, it marks his collaboration with Qawwali veterans, Ustad Sher Ali and Ustad Mehr Ali. 

“I wanted the rhythms of the Balochi dhol included in this track. The aspect that I like about this number is that it doesn’t make any references to alcohol or abusive language. The lyrics have been tactfully penned,” says Mehndi, who also composed the number.
