Trivia

Lyricist Madhan Karky, famous for inventing the 'Kiliki' language in Baahubali, frequently uses constructed languages and phonetic wordplay in Indian cinema soundtracks. For this track in LGM, he crafted rhythm-focused phonetic phrases like 'Is Kis Kifa' to blend vocal textures directly with composer Ramesh Thamilmani's modern groove.
