It boosted my confidence and helped me chase my dreams. So, when I shot Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui in the city and it got so much love from people to now, that I have shot my new single Raatan Kaaliyan on the streets of Chandigarh, I’m really emotional about the fact that I have been able to showcase my hometown even through my work. This feels really special.”

Ayushmann added, “So, Raatan Kaaliyan definitely has a tribute to the beautiful and mystic Chandigarh nights. Chandigarh is a beautiful city and it looks so charming even at night. I have thoroughly enjoyed shooting Raatan Kaaliyan there. The streets, the people, the food, the vibe – all of it just felt right as a setting to this moody romantic song.”

“When the team was scouting for a location to shoot Raatan Kaaliyan, I was in Chandigarh, and on an impulse, I asked them to shoot it here and they agreed! Chandigarh always draws me to it because of the memories attached to it. I hope people will love this song that we have shot in my favourite city,” he continued.

Meanwhile, on the acting front, Aayushmann will be seen in the sequel of his hit comedy, ‘Dream Girl.’ Besides Ayushmann, the film stars Ananya Panday, Annu Kapoor, Paresh Rawal, Asrani, Manjot Singh and Vijay Raaz among others.
