Riddhi Entertainments today unveiled the first single from Karikaada, the highly anticipated romantic action drama directed by K. Venkatesh. Titled “Kabbinjalle,” the duet is presented in Kannada as the film’s flagship track. It has been simultaneously recorded and released in four other major Indian languages — Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam — as part of the makers’ clear pan-India strategy.
Athishay Jain, who composes the film’s music, also lends his voice to the original Kannada version alongside Manasa Holla. At the same time, the lyrics for the Kannada cut are penned by director K. Venkatesh himself. The song’s choreography, crafted by Bhushan, showcases signature hook steps performed on screen by the film’s lead pair, Kaada Natraj and Niriksha Shetty, adding a visual element designed to spark the digital excitement and shareability the team hopes to capture.

The production team has emphasised that the multilingual song strategy — engaging some of today’s leading playback voices across languages — is intentional, aimed at ensuring the melody reaches the broadest possible audience across India.
The track’s contemporary beat, memorable hook steps and romantic tone are already generating buzz online. According to the makers, the film’s core team is delighted by the early response to the single and are hopeful that the energy and positive reception will carry through to the film’s wider release. Karikaada’s team has signalled that more musical and visual content will follow in the coming weeks as part of the promotional rollout ahead of the film’s release.
