About Maar Muntha Chod Chinta
Maar Muntha Chod Chinta from Double iSmart was released on July 16. It’s the second song from the film after Steppa Maar. The lyrics penned by Kasarla Shyam follow typical Hyderabadi slang, in line with Ram’s character in the film. Mani Sharma composed the music while Rahul Sipligunj, Dhanunjan Seepana and Keerthana Sharma lent their vocals. The number also features Kavya Thapar.
Double iSmart is produced by Puri and Charmme Kaur under their Puri Connects banner. The film also stars Sanjay Dutt in his Telugu debut. The sequel of the 2019 film iSmart Shankar is slated for release on August 15. The previous film did well at the box office. It also received flak for misogynistic themes and its odd storytelling. The film had starred Nabha Natesh, Nidhhi Agerwal and Satyadev apart from Ram.
