How ‘Fa9la’ became a viral sensation in Dhurandhar
For many fans, Fa9la became synonymous with Akshaye Khanna’s dramatic entry scene in Dhurandhar.

Who is Flipperachi?
Born as Hussam Aseem, Flipperachi has been an active figure in the Arab hip-hop scene for more than two decades.

Struck by the song’s raw energy and how well it matched the film’s narrative world, Sachdev is said to have introduced it to the filmmakers. Although the team initially considered creating a new version, they ultimately decided to retain the original Arabic track.
