The FA9LA song from Dhurandhar has gone viral on social media, turning its creators into viral sensations. In an exclusive interview with NDTV's Aditya Raj Kaul, FA9LA song singer Flipperachi – Hussam Aseem – along with DJ Outlaw, talked about the film, the song's surprising popularity, and their hopes for Dhurandhar to reach audiences beyond the borders of India.

Film ban in the Middle East

During the conversation, Aditya Raj Kaul enquired whether they would like Dhurandhar to be released in the Middle East, even if it meant sticking to local laws and restrictions. The thriller will not be released in several Gulf countries due to several objections about the content. Flipper responded to the question, expressing his keen interest in watching the film. He mentioned that he genuinely hopes it releases in the region. The rapper also shared about why he finds Dhurandhar fascinating and is especially excited because of its stellar cast.

He mentioned, "Well, I would really like to watch the movie, to be honest. It's an interesting film, and I'd like to see it because I'm a big fan of Akshaye Khanna. We know that he is a very seasoned actor and a celebrity. Back in the day, we used to watch many of the films he did."
