Karan Johar loves the energy in ‘Queen’s first song ‘London Thumakda’
MUMBAI: Kangana Ranaut starrer Queen seems to be making the right buzz all across. The first song of the film ‘London Thumakda’ that released recently has caught the fancy of director-producer Karan Johar.
The filmmaker took to Twitter to express his views about the song. He wrote: “Hey Guys Absolutely Love The Energy of This Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yb4oCde7Zqs … #Queen Go make it your Dance Song of this Season!”
The song has been composed by Amit Trivedi who in the last few years has stolen the limelight from many other composers of the industry with different compositions. This particular song with its frivolous Punjabi beats of dhol is bound to be ultimate song for this wedding season.
Presented by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, Queen is a Phantom Production. The Kangana Ranaut starrer is directed by Vikas Bahl, and produced by Viacom18 Motion Pictures, Vikramaditya Motwane and Anurag Kashyap. Queen is scheduled for release on 28 February, 2014.

Applause Entertainment business head for movies Sunil Chainani added, “This film adds yet another compelling layer to our slate with Rajat Kapoor’s unmistakable voice.”

The film promises razor-sharp writing, layered performances, and simmering tension, inviting viewers not just to solve the crime but to unravel the complex relationships at its heart.
