Taking a step in bringing forward the northeast's independent music into the mainstream, actor-producer Vidyut Jammwal has released a special cut with his take on Gangtok-based rapper Ugen Bhutia aka UNB's track 'Hum Bhi Kya Kum Hain'.
The 42-year-old actor, who was born in Jammu, calls the track his ode and love for the beautiful northeast.
Jammwal said: "Growing up, I was lucky to have the opportunity of experiencing the culture and love of the northeast. My father, who served with the Army, was posted across various stations and states in the northeast."
"When I heard Ugen's track for the first time, it was something I connected with almost immediately. It felt familiar yet new and quirky. Hum Bhi Kya Kum Hain has been on my playlist for sometime and I knew I wanted to do something to bring him and hopefully other talents like him from the northeast to the fore. This is my ode and my love for the beautiful northeast," he added.
