He further added, “Cricket’ and `Bollywood’ are considered ‘religions’ in India and we have brought the two together on this exciting sporting project. Obviously, timed when the country is high on cricket fever. Kanika Kapoor as we all know has swept the Bollywood music awards this year with her massive film hits, making her the hottest voice currently on the scene. So she was always our first choice to sing on this International EDM hit from Alesso. And since we share a great working relationship with the Ten Sports Network, we reached out to them to come on board this project. They readily agreed as they have a busy cricket schedule for 2015, so it fits in well.”
