Prime Video has now upped the anticipation for Pippa by releasing the first song, Rampage Rap. Earlier, the trailer for the film got an impressive response for its breathtaking cinematography, great background score, and interesting glances within the story. Ishaan plays Captain Balram Singh Mehta, and the video depicts him leading the Indian Army into battle against the country's worst enemy.
Composed by music legend A. R. Rahman, the upbeat song features pulsating rhythms that keep listeners interested in the film's plot and on the edge of their seats. The song, which MC Heam wrote and performed with Krystal, has fast-paced rapping sounds and aims to arouse a strong sense of patriotism.

AR Rahman on the ambitious blend of rap and heritage in Rampage Rap
Meanwhile, talking about the song, A. R. Rahman revealed in a statement that the Rampage Rap symbolises an ambitious endeavour to integrate the vivid energy of rap while preserving a strong link to heritage and being faithful to the film's concept. He shared that, given the difficulty involved, MC Heam's ability to write and perform a rap in 7/8 is very impressive. The music maestro further said that some of the film's most dramatic scenes feature the song. Rahman went on to say that Krystal, a veteran of Broadway who was visiting India at the time, adds her powerful voice to the centuries-old art tradition. The first time he worked with Raja Menon was incredibly motivating since he welcomed and supported unconventional approaches.
Ishaan portrays real-life war hero Captain Balram Singh Mehta in the Raja Krishna Menon-directed film, which also stars Mrunal Thakur, Priyanshu Painyuli, and Soni Razdan in key roles. Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP and Siddharth Roy Kapur's Roy Kapur Films produced it. On November 10, Pippa will debut worldwide on Prime Video.
