New Delhi, Feb 24 (IANS) After the Bahraini Arabic trap track ‘FA9LA’ became a nationwide sensation following the release of the mega blockbuster Dhurandhar, singer Flipperachi said he always believed music could cross borders, but never imagined the film would take his sound to millions beyond his language.
Asked if he ever imagined that a connection with Dhurandhar would introduce his music to millions who may not even speak his language, Flipperachi told IANS: “I always believed music could travel and cross borders, but I didn’t imagine it happening this way.”
“It just proves that language isn’t a barrier when the energy is right.”
The singer is all set to perform in Mumbai on March 13, 2026.
Talking about his maiden performance in India, he said: “Gratitude more than anything. It’s something unique when people connect with your music before you even step into their country so I’m excited and focused to say the least.”
Flipperachi is known for his genre-blending sound and unapologetic storytelling. The Bahraini rapper has built a massive international fanbase that cuts across cultures, languages, and borders.
Dhurandhar is directed by Aditya Dhar. It features an ensemble cast consisting of Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, and R. Madhavan. The first instalment of a duology, it centres on a high-stakes covert counter-terrorism operation.
The film follows an undercover Indian intelligence agent who infiltrates Karachi’s criminal syndicates and political power structures in Pakistan in an effort to dismantle a terror network targeting India.
The film’s storyline draws loose inspiration from multiple real-life geopolitical events and conflicts in South Asia, including the 1999 IC-814 hijacking, the 2001 Indian Parliament attack, the 2008 Mumbai attacks, and developments linked to Pakistan’s Operation Lyari.
It was on February 3 when the makers announced the title of the film’s sequel as ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’. Along with the title reveal, a striking new poster offering a glimpse into the next chapter of the high-octane blockbuster franchise.
“Dhurandhar 2” resumes with Hamza Ali Mazhari, an Indian undercover agent who has successfully infiltrated Pakistan’s underworld. After taking down Rehman Dakait, Hamza ascends the ranks of power, only to face his most formidable adversary yet Major Iqbal, the ISI mastermind known as Bade Sahab.
