After Offo and Locha-E-Ulfat, the makers of 2 States will launch another song, Mast Magan, today. A romantic track picturised on lead actors Arjun Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, it shows how the bond between their respective characters — Punjabi Krish Malhotra and Tamilian Ananya Swaminathan — strengthens. It has been filmed at real locations in Tamil Nadu — a temple at Mylapore and a pier at Ennore beach.

With the signature step in Locha... having caught on, the makers are optimistic about the new song also connecting with the audience. The film's producers — Karan Johar and Sajid Nadiadwala — have had successful collaborations with the composer trio, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, in the past. And this time around, director Abhishek Varman was keen on them composing the soundtrack. "The idea was to create a romantic album that not only has soul, but also young energy," enthuses Karan, adding, "These kind of songs have a longer shelf life. They're not item-based or seasonal."

Sajid says, "SEL has given great music in my films Housefull and Heyy Babyy. Mast... is my favourite track in the 2 States album and I think it will grow." Karan and Sajid are also unanimous in their praise for singer Arijit Singh. "His voice has a haunting quality and makes the song stay with you," Sajid says. Karan reserves a special mention for lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya as well. "He is a strong talent in music. Amitabh's words tend to have a colloquial nature, but they also have a tremendous amount of soul."
2 States, produced by Dharma Productions and Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment Pvt Ltd, releases April 18
