Karthik Gowda, the executive producer of Raajakumara, had the privilege of meeting the ace filmmaker in Hyderabad recently, when it was revealed that the Baahubali creator was aware of the track and liked it.

Speaking to International Business Times, India edition, Karthik Gowda said, "During the short meeting, Rajamouli sir told me that he had heard the song and watched the making of it. He is impressed by the track and we are happy because he has liked a Kannada number, which makes us proud."
