Says Lakshman, “Rapid urbanisation has become an alarming problem for animals. The adverse effects can be seen even in rural and forest areas. As an animal welfare group, AWBP Trust wanted this song to create awareness on the effect of urbanisation on animals.” The song is supported with videos of animals in urban areas and having to suffer constantly due to lack of safe water and food.”
Lakshman says, “Water is a basic necessity for living beings; it is a vital food for animals and birds. Among animals, a lack of drinking water leads to health challenges such as dehydration, skin infections, fever and viral infections. Through the song, we highlight the plight of these animals with a hope of making everyone show compassion to the animals.”
While Lakshman wrote the song in Telugu and then got it translated to Hindi. The songs are sung by Shreyas Dharmadhikari and Vignesh G. The instrumental support is given by TV Sukanya on violin, Sivaramakrishna K R on kanjira and Ashish Venkateswaran on flute.
