The video was launched successfully in Mumbai on Aug 15 on the occasion of Independence Day.

Speaking to the media, Mr. Rajeev Walia, Director of the star-studded anthem said, “It is very important that we should teach our nation's children especially, and that modern crowd who listen only to western and hippie songs and remember only pop songs, the national anthem of India. So a launch of this newly prepared national anthem and playing it across screens at various theatres is very important.“ Talking about the project, Rajeev also said, “I have been working on this for a while now and it is finally complete. I am very proud of what the team has been able to put together with so many artists on board.”
