Among the biggest finds of 2025 has been singer Faheem Abdullah, who broke out earlier this year with the title track of Saiyaara. While he quickly followed it up with a number in The Ba***ds of Bollywood, the singer is now ready with another single, Jaana Nahi. The track, which drops today, sees Sunny Kaushal and Tanya Maniktala of Kill (2023) fame teaming up for the first time.
It’s not only about new associations — the song reunites Kaushal with his Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba (2024) director Jayprad Desai. Maniktala expressed her excitement about joining the actor-director duo as she said, “We have seen the magic Jayprad sir and Sunny created together in Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba. So, it was an even more exciting collaboration for me. The track has been shot in beautiful locations across Maharashtra and Goa.”

Maniktala’s projects so far haven’t exactly given her the scope for a romantic number. Jaana Nahi was an opportunity to play the quintessential female lead. She added, “With Jayprad sir’s eye for detail and Sunny’s playfulness, it was a great environment to work in. Our shared love for the song, especially the desire to do an experimental romantic number, brought us clarity. We wanted to do justice to the track by Faheem.”
