Sanjith Hegde’s song Ide Swarga from Love Mocktail 2 to be released on September 17

Love Mocktail 2, the sequel to actor-director Darling Krishna’s hit film Love Mocktail, is all wrapped up. Krishna has been keeping the excitement created by the first film going by releasing lyrical videos of the sequel’s songs every now and then. While the first one, Ninadene Januma, sung by Nakul Abhayankar, was released to celebrate the actor’s wedding with actress Milana Nagaraj, the second one, Ee Prema, by Ramya Bhat came out in May.

Krishna, who has, in the interim, been busy with several acting commitments, is now set to release the third lyrical video, called Ide Swarga, sung by Sanjith Hegde on September 17. Both Krishna and Milana shared the news on social media. She wrote, “"Ide Swargaaa... Have been waiting to present this song to all of you since the day the song has been finalised! My favourite from the album #Lovemocktail2 !! On top of which is @sanjithhegde's Voice to this. @nakulabhyankar This one is fantabulous... Congratulations 🥳.”

Love Mocktail 2, incidentally, has music by Nakul Abhayankar. He came onboard after Raghu Dixit, whose music for the original was one of the film’s highlight, decided to bow out of working on the sequel. At the time, Krishna had been quoted as saying that much as he wanted Raghu to be on board for Love Mocktail 2, it was not a financially viable option for him. Incidentally, Nakul had served as playback singer for the first film for the songs Love You Chinna and Janumagale Kaayuve.

While Love Mocktail had Krishna paired with Vibha Kallianpur, Amrutha Iyengar and Milana, with Rachana Inder in a pivotal role, this time around, he is bringing Rachel David to Kannada cinema, along with newcomers Sushmitha and Kushi Achar.
