Providing a fresh soundscape blending heartbreak with groovy beats, Ayushmann Khurrana has set the stage for a musical breakthrough with the release of his first-ever Haryanvi EP, which dropped today in collaboration with Warner Music India. As Ayushmann makes a bold leap into Haryanvi pop with The Heartbreak Chhora, the EP also marks a lot of firsts for the artiste.

It is the first time a Punjabi singer has lent his voice to a Haryanvi song, with Ayushmann bringing his soft charm to the heartbreak anthem, a refreshing break from the hard-hitting, swagger-filled Haryanvi tracks. With groovy beats and an emotional core, the song blends vulnerability with rhythm, showing  again that Ayushmann is a trendsetter in both music and cinema.

The first track is set to redefine music videos by a one-of-a-kind, AI-generated visualizer video that blends striking artistry with quirky, eye-catching visuals, making Ayushmann the first mainstream Hindi film artiste to have an AI music video.

Penned by Kunwar Juneja and Krishna Bharadwaj and composed by Jaya Rohilla and Gourov Dasgupta with Haryanvi consultant Vaibhav Dewan, The heartbreak chhora “captures the rollercoaster of heartbreak with an irresistibly fun and upbeat soundtrack,” says the press release. Now if you ask me, that’s a truly bizarre and incongruous combination! But anything I guess in the name of novelty and contemporaneity!

The EP also features two additional tracks, Ho gaya pyar re, a soulful romantic ballad, and Drive to Murthal, an upbeat love anthem.

Speaking about his latest musical experiment, Ayushmann says, “It’s a great feeling to finally unveil what I’ve been working on over the past few months. I am a big fan of Haryanvi music and wanted to try new sounds and themes that haven’t been explored in this genre, continuing my mission in experimenting with the unknown when it comes to my content. Even though these tracks dive into heartbreak, there is a happy vibe to the music, which is why I like to term this genre Urban Haryanvi, which will also be interesting to those who haven’t heard Haryanvi music before, making this an EP to be heard by all.”

He adds, “Diving into the AI space with the music video of one track in this EP is also something I have been looking to show you all since a while, proving the importance of blending technology with ongoing trends, which is very important in today’s times. I can’t wait for all of you to hear this!”

Since his signing with Warner Music India, Ayushmann Khurrana has delivered a string of chartbusters, including the big festive anthem of 2024, Jachdi, the soulful Reh ja, and the high-energy pop hit, Ankh da taara. With each release, he has further cemented his place in the music industry, blending his signature artistry with fresh, genre-defying sounds.

The heartbreak chhora is now streaming on all music platforms.
