Singer Abbie V, known for the popular 'Brahmakalasha' from Kantara: Chapter 1, has lent his voice to 'Jagava Kaayo Devanu', a new song from the upcoming Kannada film Devi Mahatme. The track was composed by Likith Prasad Shetty with lyrics by Pramod Maravanthe. Directed by Nagaraj Somayaji, Devi Mahatme is a comedy thriller set in and around Kundapura, with the Yakshagana performance of the same name as its backdrop. Despite its title, the film is not devotional. The shoot is complete and the film is in post-production. The film marks the first album outside Hombale Music's in-house productions to be acquired by the label. Produced by Vidya Gandhirajan under UVG Studio, the film features Aravind Kuplikar, Bhaskar Bangera, and others in the writing team. The release date is yet to be announced.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

This song release is a marketing move to capitalise on Abbie V's popularity after Kantara: Chapter 1, which had a strong devotional and folk music appeal. By tying a devotional-sounding title to a comedy thriller, the makers are likely aiming to attract audiences expecting a spiritual film while delivering genre surprise. The Hombale Music acquisition signals confidence in the project's commercial potential. The key next step is the announcement of the theatrical release date, which will determine how this marketing builds momentum.
