After
the
grand
trailer,
the
makers
of
Arjun
Kapoor-Kriti
Sanon's
'Panipat'
dropped
the
first
song
titled
'Mard
Maratha'
today.
The
track
is
shot
on
an
extensive
scale,
replete
with
Peshwai
ambience,
a
grand
Ganesh
idol
in
the
background,
a
whopping
1,300
dancers,
including
lejhim
dancers
from
Pune
and
authentic
bull
dancers.
Arjun
Kapoor
took
to
his
Twitter
page
to
share
the
first
song
from
his
film
and
posted,
"Pride
in
their
hearts
and
strength
in
their
will!
💪
#MardMaratha
song
out
now!."
(sic)
Watch
the
song
here.
Choreographed
by
Raju
Khan,
the
song
was
shot
across
13
days,
at
the
regal
life-size
set
of
Shaniwar
Wada
in
Karjat,
which
was
constructed
by
art
director
Nitin
Desai
for
the
film.
A
refreshing
song
with
a
mix
of
Hindi-Marathi
feel
to
it,
'Mard
Maratha'
features
some
of
the
pivotal
actors
of
the
film
like
Arjun
Kapoor,
Kriti
Sanon,
Mohnish
Bahl,
Padmini
Kolhapure
and
is
composed
by
the
maestros
-
Ajay-Atul.
Speaking
about
composing
this
high-energy
track
with
a
traditional
flavour
to
it,
the
musician
duo
said,
"The
song
celebrates
the
richness
of
the
Maratha
regime.
We
wanted
to
create
a
song
which
not
only
has
a
traditional
feel
to
it
but
can
also
be
enjoyed
by
all
kinds
of
audiences,
regardless
of
their
age
and
taste
in
music.
So,
keeping
that
in
mind
we
have
created
'Mard
Maratha'
in
such
a
way
that
it
appeals
to
one
and
all."
The
duo
further
added,
"The
energy
of
the
song
and
the
way
Ashu
Sir
has
shot
it,
brings
out
the
forgotten
opulence
of
the
Maratha
regime
and
is
indeed
a
visual
treat."
