Two of the greatest forces of Punjabi music — actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh and veteran singer Gurdas Maan — have joined forces for the reimagined version of the iconic track ‘Challa’.

According to IANS, the two popular singers have given the nearly four-decade-old song a new texture.

“We created the original ‘Challa’ nearly 40 years ago,” Gurdas Maan said of the project, adding, “I decided it was time to revisit the classic. What better way to accomplish this than with Diljit?

“The song ‘Challa’ means everything to me. It represents celebration, union, and separation in the most earthy and Punjabi ways. It is a song that is very special to both Diljit and myself, so it was an incredible experience being able to recreate it with him.”

“‘Challa’ is an iconic Punjabi song that is close to our hearts and very special to me,” Diljit said, “It means a lot to me that I was able to recreate it with Gurdas Maan Saab, and I hope that when listeners hear it, they will feel the same connection to it that we have all these years.”

All three songs are Spotify singles and are part of Spotify’s collaboration with Punjabi music stars. Spotify currently has all of the songs available for streaming.

According to Spotify Wrapped, the year-end campaign that highlights what listeners streamed in India, ‘Excuses’ by A.P. Dhillon, Intense, and Gurinder Gill was the most streamed song on Spotify in India, while the late Sidhu Moose Wala’s ‘Moosetape’ the most-streamed album.
