Dhurandhar’s ‘FA9LA’ Song: Who Is Flipperachi?
After Dhurandhar’s release, Akshaye Khanna’s Rehman Dakait’s entry BGM became ‘that song’ from the movie. The track did not immediately feature in the film’s album. Ranveer Singh, who plays the protagonist in the movie, shared a clip on Instagram with the track playing in the background and captioned it as, “So here’s ‘THAT’ track from the movie… FLIPPERACHI,” introducing the Bahraini rapper to his massive fanbase.
Flipperachi, whose real name is Hussam Aseem, is one of the Arab region’s leading hip-hop artists. He is known for his distinctive style and has collaborated with global names, including Shaggy and even basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal. It was in 2024 when he won the Bahraini Artist of the Year award, cementing his influence in the music scene. His song ‘FA9LA’ has already racked up millions of views on YouTube. It is the track’s infectious beats that made it a social media sensation, highlighting its appeal beyond the Arab world. The song’s inclusion in Dhurandhar has expanded its reach, connecting Flipperachi with the Indian audience.
