Meet Brothers and Kanika Kapoor shoot for their upcoming single in Jaipur

Manmeet and Harmeet Singh, known as Meet Brothers, along with playback singer Kanika Kapoor were recently in Jaipur to shoot for their upcoming single. While Meet Brothers told us it was the best shooting experience they had, Kanika, on the other hand, said, "I have grown up listening to Ila Arun ji's songs. It was a dream come true to sing a song that is heavily influenced by Rajasthani folk music." The trio first shot at few places in Kishangarh followed by shooting at the City Palace in Jaipur the next day.

"I posted a picture on one of my social media handles of us shooting at a barren land in Kishangarh. The land was so white that a few of my followers commented, 'Are you shooting in Antartica?'," said Manmeet.

Harmeet added, "It is always great to be in Jaipur. We have even used a lot of local talent from the city in our video." He also said, "In order to maintain the authenticity of Rajasthani folk songs, we have used traditional instruments like ravanahatha and khartal."

Manmeet went on to add, "We have been churning out songs with Punjabi flavour but now we want to explore Rajasthani folk music. It's a banna-banni song and we hope that just like people dance to Punjabi numbers at weddings, they dance to this peppy track too."

Harmeet, opined that when a music video is shot in any city, it helps in promoting the tourism of the state. "I feel music stays in your head for a longer period of time as compared to films. When someone comes and shoot a music video in a state, it helps in attracting more people from across the globe to that state," said Harmeet.

We spotted Kanika shooting for her part of the song in the day and leaving early to catch her flight. Even though she was in a hurry, she obliged her little fans with pictures and even sang a line from her song Chittiyan Kalaiyan for a young girl. Manmeet and Harmeet stayed a little longer and left late in the evening.

When asked if the upcoming single is making them anxious, Manmeet replied, "Not at all. It is our work. Moreover, when this single will get released, by that time, we will get busy with our next composition. We are constantly working. Thus, we remain unaffected by success or the failure."
