Bollywood-Inspired Song Released to Support Kamala Harris’s Presidential Campaign
Produced by Ritesh Parikh and sung by Shibani Kashyap, the song is aimed at energizing the South Asian community, especially Indian-American voters, to back Harris in her bid for the White House.
In a unique blend of Bollywood and American politics, a 1.23-minute music video titled Nacho-Nacho has been released to rally support for Kamala Harris’s U.S. presidential campaign. Produced by Ritesh Parikh and sung by Shibani Kashyap, the song is aimed at energizing the South Asian community, especially Indian-American voters, to back Harris in her bid for the White House.
Campaign to Mobilize South Asian Voters
Ajay Jain Bhutoria, a prominent Indian-American leader and member of the National Finance Committee for the Harris for President campaign, spearheaded the initiative. His goal is to engage approximately five million South Asian voters in key battleground states, including Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona.
Bollywood Touch to Political Messaging
The video, which reimagines the popular song Naatu Naatu from the movie RRR as Nacho-Nacho, incorporates campaign footage of Kamala Harris and features messages from community leaders in various Indian languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Punjabi, and Hindi. The opening line, Humari Ye Kamala Harris, highlights the theme of unity and hope for a brighter future under Harris’s leadership.
Bhutoria’s Vision for Indian-American Unity
Bhutoria emphasized that Harris symbolizes a brighter future for the over 4.4 million Indian-Americans and aims to unite the community through culturally resonant messaging. According to reports, he plans to release more Bollywood-inspired videos in the coming months, ensuring that South Asian voices are heard and their votes counted in the upcoming election.
This creative approach to voter outreach demonstrates the growing influence of the Indian-American community in U.S. elections, combining culture, music, and politics in a powerful campaign tool.
