Emiway Bantai has made his Bollywood soundtrack debut with Choozay, a charged new track from Udta Teer that pairs his rap energy with the melodic sensibilities of Sachin-Jigar and the writing of Amitabh Bhattacharya. The song marks a notable crossover moment for one of India’s biggest independent hip-hop voices.
Out now via Sony Music India, Choozay arrives ahead of Udta Teer, which is set to release in cinemas on October 23, 2026. The track features vocals by Emiway Bantai and Jigar Saraiya, while the music video teams Emiway with Ayushmann Khurrana and Jigar Saraiya in a lively, glossy visual that channels the film’s comic spirit.
Choozay Brings Emiway Into A New Space
Composed by Sachin-Jigar and written by Amitabh Bhattacharya and Emiway Bantai, Choozay blends rap and melody while giving Emiway room to bring his own voice and writing style into a mainstream film soundtrack.
Ayushmann Khurrana said, “‘Choozay’ has an infectious energy that hits you almost instantly. It’s one of those songs that brings together so many exciting creative forces, Emiway’s raw and distinctive rap style, Sachin-Jigar’s incredible musicality and Amitabh Bhattacharya’s brilliant writing. Everyone has brought something unique to the track, and that’s what makes it so much fun. I’m really excited for people to experience the song and the world we’ve created around it. I genuinely feel ‘Choozay’ is going to be one of those tracks that finds its way onto every playlist and stays there.”
Sachin-Jigar said, “Some sounds just have an energy that you keep wanting to return to, and this is one of them for us. We’ve always enjoyed creating music in this space, and our work with Amitabh Bhattacharya has resulted in some memorable collaborations over the years. ‘Choozay’ gave us the chance to revisit that world while bringing something fresh to it. Emiway coming on board was a fantastic fit, his rap style, attitude and unmistakable flow bring a whole new dimension to the composition. The combination has made the track incredibly exciting, and we’re genuinely looking forward to seeing how audiences react to it.”

Emiway Bantai said, “I’ve been offered several Bollywood projects before, but none felt like the right fit. Finally, with Udta Teer, it clicked for me, it felt fun and exciting to begin with. Stepping into Bollywood with ‘Choozay’ is a really special moment for me. I’ve come a long way with independent music, and being able to bring my sound into the world of cinema feels like a new chapter. Working with Sachin-Jigar, Amitabh sir, and Ayushmann Khurrana has been an incredible experience because everyone brought their own energy and perspective to the song. I’ve always wanted to explore new spaces without losing what makes my music mine, and ‘Choozay’ feels like the perfect beginning to that journey.”
What Choozay Means For Emiway Bantai
Choozay gives Emiway a high-visibility Bollywood entry without stripping away the persona that built his independent following. If the song lands the way its makers expect, it could open an interesting new lane for the rapper inside mainstream Hindi film music.
