Donkey King releases new anthem on coronavirus

KARACHI: After enthralling the audience in cinemas across the world, Mangu from the animated comedy film The Donkey King is here with a public service anthem with an important message to the masses during these difficult times.

The makers of the movie have released a public service anthem requesting everyone to practice social distancing and to play their part in the fight against the coronavirus. 

The inspirational anthem ‘DarnaNahinLarnaHai’ has been composed by Shuja Haider, with Asrar behind the vocals, and lyrics by the writer-director of the blockbuster animated film Aziz Jindani.

Amidst the coronavirus outbreak, which has infected people across the world and in turn has led to locking down of various cities, causing families to self-isolate in their homes, everyone is trying to do their bit by urging people to practice social distancing.

In the video, Mangu urges everyone to keep an appropriate distance from others but keep our hearts connected. The video also sees cameos from other characters of the movie as they ask us to avoid going out of the house unnecessarily. 

The video ends with the message, “Stay home, stay safe.”

The Donkey King is an animated comedy film that was released in Pakistan in October 2018 and has been produced by Geo Films and Talisman Studios. The film features the voices of Jan Rambo, Ismail Tara, Hina Dilpazeer, Ghulam Mohiuddin, and Jawed Sheikh.

The movie has been released in cinemas around the world and has also been dubbed in many languages, including Turkish, Ukrainian, Russian, Korean, Spanish, Basque, and Catalan.
