“If The Intention Is Pure, I’m Always Ready To Support,” Says Rekha Jha On Why She Said Yes To Arjun Bewakoof

O Womaniya fame singer Rekha Jha is all set to lend her voice to a new folk-based song for the feature film Arjun Bewakoof. A community-based film introducing a new distribution system where the audience is built even before the film's release, Arjun Bewakoof is directed by Smita Singh and stars Sanjay Mishra Andaman writer and actor Anand Raaj. Known for her powerful and soulful folk renditions, Rekha Jha returns to recreate the magic once again, bringing her signature authenticity and emotional depth to the project.

Talking about revisiting a folk classic for Arjun Bewakoof, Rekha Jha said, "It feels absolutely wonderful. O Womaniya has given me so much love and recognition, and getting a chance to recreate a folk song again brings back that same happiness. When I first recorded Womaniya, I didn't even know how big it would become I was simply singing. But today, when I look back and realise how much that song has given me, revisiting a folk track for Arjun Bewakoof feels like the return of that joy. It truly makes me very happy."

Sharing how she came on board the project, she said, "I came on board because my son contacted the team of Arjun Bewakoof, and from there the conversation started. We spoke, everything aligned, and the song happened smoothly. The first time I heard it, I genuinely liked it. It instantly felt good to me, and I had a feeling that people would enjoy it just as much. The team was warm, and meeting people like Anand ji-who speaks with so much sincerity-made the whole experience even better."

Addressing why she chose to support an independent film like Arjun Bewakoof, the folk singer added, "For me, nothing is ever 'small.' A film-independent or big budget is someone's thought, someone's passion, and that should never be called small. Whether the budget is more or less, the intention and the effort behind it matter the most. That's why I never look at projects like this as small. I felt good about the song, good about the team, and that was enough for me. In the end, I want to congratulate Arjun Bewakoof and also wish the entire team, especially Anand ji, all the very best for this song."
