The promos for Akshay Kumar led multi starrer Welcome to the Jungle are happening full force. After releasing the films teaser the makers have now dropped the new track titled Ghis Ghis Ghis with Akshay along with Bhojpuri actor Akshara Singh.

It’s a high energy Bhojpuri style song where Akshay shows up as a “Bhojpuria star” and basically shakes a leg with a Bhojpuri female star no less.

So the newly released track is kind of in step with the film’s comedy caper mood and it also signals Akshay going for a Bhojpuri number inside the movie.

The clip starts with a director telling Paresh Rawal to propose a hero and right after that Paresh introduces Akshay as “top ka hero jo ab flop hai Item boy bankar Bhojpuri pe ghis raha hai (Yes there is an actor who was a top hero but is now doing item songs in Bhojpuri films).”

After that there's a dance video featuring Akshay and Akshara they’re dancing to a quintessential Bhojpuri style track with colourful sets sort of high octane choreography and really over the top facial expressions.

The makers then dropped the song along with a tagline “From the heartland of India comes a Genz banger.” which kinda sounds too good to be true right?

A fan wrote, "It seems like Ak is imitating Pawan Singh here. But the difference is that Pawan's songs are actually catchy. This song is not."

Another comment read, "Pawan signification of Akshay Kumar." Some viewers didn’t agree with the song’s treatment either. A comment read, "Bhojpurification of Bollywood needs to be stopped."
