'Showman’ producer-composer Siddharth Kasyap is always known to be a creative maverick who is daringly different. This time too, his latest 11 minutes musical short film titled ‘Azadi’ released by his SK Music Works, to coincide with the 76th Indian Independence Day (2023) anniversary celebrations during the current week is innovative and perhaps first-of-its-kind.

What is unique experimental in ‘Azadi’ is that with vibrant visuals, we have shown today’s young smart kids time-traveling back into the historic journey flashback-past of the mutiny of 1857 and becoming part of historic events like Rani Laxmibai, Mangal Pandey, Jallianwala Bagh massacre, the andolans (agitations) led by Mahatma Gandhi-ji and events relating to Chandrashekhar Azad, Veer Savarkar etc.. The short film released to coincide with the 76th year of Indian Independence also generates among today’s tech-savvy youth reverential respect for the brave freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives for Indian independence from British rule.

It also inspires today’s youth not to take our precious freedom. for granted. Dedicated star-singer Mohit Chauhan has sung so wonderfully the solo ‘Azadi’ song which has multi-dimensional with changing emotions, backed by the ‘arrangement’ of original acoustic musical instruments...

Our ‘Azadi’ video was released by Hon’ble Union Minister Nitin Gadkari-jee in Nagpur and he highly appreciated our creative concerted efforts, “ informs Siddharth Kasyap who had also invited model-actress-danseuse Shwetaa Khanduri ( of 'Chhammo' hit glam-dance-song music video fame) as a special guest at the exclusive-screening well-attended event at Cinepolis Theatre .in Mumbai.
