Team 45 is all set to make history! In a landmark moment for Indian cinema, and a first for Kannada films, Uganda’s globally viral dance troupe, the Ghetto Kids, will feature in a high-energy promotional song alongside some of Sandalwood’s biggest icons — Dr. Shivarajkumar, Upendra, and Raj B Shetty.
This bold and vibrant collaboration is part of director Arjun Janya’s visionary debut, and it marks a thrilling leap towards global cultural fusion. The song, choreographed by the dynamic Jhonny Master, is scheduled to go on floors on June 15, and is expected to be one of the most talked-about musical moments in Indian cinema this year.
“It’s a proud moment,” says Arjun Janya. “Ghetto Kids have millions of followers. We are taking a Kannada song to the international stage.”
Known for their electrifying performances and infectious energy, the Ghetto Kids have performed at some of the world’s biggest stages — and now, they’ll light up the world of 45 in a peppy, colorful dance number that promises to set screens on fire. With a massive budget of over ₹2.5 crore dedicated to this song alone, the scale is larger than life, and the vibes — pure celebration.
This isn’t just a promotional number — it’s a cultural moment. The inclusion of the Ghetto Kids in 45 is a testament to the film’s ambition to transcend language and geography, offering something fresh and globally appealing to audiences in Kannada, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam.
“This collaboration will help Kannada music and cinema reach new global audiences, and we’re excited about what’s coming,” adds Arjun Janya.
Produced by Ramesh Reddy under the Suraj Productions banner, 45 is shaping up to be not just a film, but a movement — where Indian tradition meets international rhythm. The Ghetto Kids bring their unmistakable energy, the Kannada stars bring their unmatched screen presence, and Arjun Janya brings it all together with music and direction that is both rooted and revolutionary.
Stay tuned for behind-the-scenes glimpses, music drops, and more as Team 45 rewrites the rules of Indian film music — one beat at a time.
