Mumbai, Feb 18 (IANS): Ahead of Maha Shivratri, Akshay Kumar has dropped a divine musical track, titled “Mahakal Chalo”. The song is a perfect anthem to celebrate the festival on February 26, 2025.
The lyrics have been penned by Shekhar Astitwa, paired with Vikram Montrose’s soulful composition. Akshay Kumar has collaborated with singer Palash Sen for his latest number.

Earlier, Palash Sen also wrote an open letter, praising Akshay Kumar for his support. Dropping a picture of the two on IG, the singer shared, "I generally write such posts to highlight an issue that starts bothering me, or to highlight something that purely pisses me off. But today, I write this to highlight something that left me with a smile and pleasantly surprised."
He added, "You were giving me support & a backing no one from Bollywood has, in years.. And we both didn't even know each other. And then I met you & saw your humility, respect & your professionalism. And here we are and Mahakal chalo will release tomorrow.”
Palash Sen concluded saying, “Another thing that's rare to find is a kickass sense of humor.. Your comic timing on and off screen is bang on.. And I feel a person who can make someone smile and laugh, has the lord's blessings. Phhir milenge, Akshay. Stay awesome, stay fit and stay spiritual. Jai Mahakal…”
