Shaan and Akriti Kakar are set to mark the onset of the Durga puja festivities with a track titled Thomkiya thomkiya. For Kakar, working on the song with Shaan was only fitting, given the vast amount of work they have done in the Bengali music industry. 

“[Shaan and I] developed a bond while working on [a singing reality show], and that resulted in this collaboration. Thomkiya thomkiya is an original composition whose hook  line is [inspired by] a popular Bengali folk song called Komolaye nretto koee. There’s no better time to release it than now, when everyone is in the mood to celebrate,” Kakar says.
