All footage shot personally by Amoghavarsha specially for this song. The main aim was to film animals and birds indigenous to Karnataka and showcase a side of Karnataka that has never been seen before. Watch out for the fresh water jelly fish and also the Blue Eyed bush frog, only discovered in Karnataka a couple of years ago. The whole video has been shot in the forests of Karnataka and most of the animals showcased are endemic to these forests which means they are not to be found anywhere else in the world.
