Mumbai, October 11, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Actress Urvashi Rautela has ventured into music with her EDM track Heart Controller, taking on the roles of lead vocalist and writer for the full-length electronic dance music record.
Speaking to IANS about her musical journey, Urvashi said she had long been drawn to electronic dance music and wanted to explore the genre beyond her on-screen persona. She added that the track brings together her musical expression with Indian culture and tradition.
“Truly honoured to become India’s first Bollywood EDM singer billed as lead vocalist to sing a full-length EDM record/EDM track. A first for a Bollywood actress, and the first ever in the history of Bollywood,” the Sanam Re actress said.
She explained that her interest in EDM went beyond its association with an image, describing Heart Controller as an opportunity to express herself as both a vocalist and a writer.
“I have long been drawn to electronic dance music, not as an ornament to an image, but as a form I wished to inhabit as a vocalist and writer for Heart Controller. It is released. It belongs to anyone with an ear for the genre and equally to anyone who has never heard an Indian name held, unaccompanied, at the centre of a full-length electronic work,” she said.
Urvashi also said the record carries cultural and personal significance, with its lyrics drawing on themes of the Mahabharata, heritage and Indian tradition.
“The record is not merely a drop. Heard against the lyric, it opens onto the Mahabharata, onto lineage and grace, onto Indian culture and Indian tradition, and onto the name I carry. Rautela is written into the verse with intent: say it slowly, and say it correctly. Urvashi is the title. In the reading from which I built the song, Ur is the heart and Vashi the controller. Hence Heart Controller. I am not describing another woman. I am singing the name,” she said.
The actress added that listeners who have already heard the track have responded warmly. She said she was presenting the song in her own voice rather than lending it to a featured vocalist.
“Those who have already heard the record have received it warmly. That is sufficient. I am not lending this vocal to a featured voice. I am presenting it myself, to the world, and beyond the world, to the universe. Heart Controller is no longer mine alone. It is yours,” she said.
Urvashi also expressed gratitude for collaborating with Oriental House and Hollywood producers Asln and Timor Jana on the project.
Urvashi made her Bollywood debut opposite Sunny Deol in Singh Saab the Great. She subsequently appeared in films including Sanam Re, a romantic drama co-starring Pulkit Samrat and Yami Gautam; Great Grand Masti, the third instalment in the Masti comedy franchise; and Hate Story 4.
She also made a special appearance in the song Mon Amour from Hrithik Roshan-starrer Kaabil.
