Diljit sings Hanuman Chalisa for Ramayana, seeks forgiveness for possible mistakes

Singer Diljit Dosanjh said he felt blessed to get the opportunity to lend his voice to the Hanuman Chalisa for Ramayana: Rise of a Legend. The singer also sought forgiveness in case he had mispronounced any words while recording the devotional track.

Calling it a significant moment in his career, Diljit said he did not consider himself worthy of such an opportunity but made sure he gave the devotional track his best.

Speaking about the experience with SirfPanjabiyat, the singer said, "I got the opportunity to sing the Hanuman Chalisa, although I don't consider myself worthy of it. I don't feel I'm worthy of such an opportunity, but getting to sing it was a very big thing for me."

Diljit added that he approached the song with complete sincerity and put his heart into the performance. He also sought forgiveness in case he had made any mistakes while pronouncing the verses.

"I tried to sing it with all my heart and put in my best effort. If I happened to pronounce or say any words incorrectly, I sincerely ask for forgiveness. But whatever effort I made, I did it wholeheartedly," he said.

The singer also congratulated the entire team behind the film and sent his best wishes to the makers on its release.

The Hanuman Chalisa for Ramayana: Rise of a Legend features a collaboration between singers Diljit Dosanjh, Sukhwinder Singh, Mohit Chauhan, Shankar Mahadevan and Kailash Kher.

The devotional track was released on November 5, coinciding with the film's theatrical release. Its music video also offers a first glimpse of Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman, whose appearance had been teased in the film's post-credit sequence.

In the video, Hanuman is initially seen as a towering silhouette from behind. Although his face remains hidden, the sequence shows him taking a giant leap while chanting 'Jai Shri Ram'.
