Actors Ravi Dubey and Sargun Mehta announced their collaboration with the ace rapper Badshah for a song called Toxic.

In an interview with a media portal, Ravi Dubey spoke about his new song. Take a look. 

Ravi Dubey on what 'Toxic' is about

Badshah’s Toxic song is quite different from his other peppy tracks. It revolves around a couple whose relationship deteriorates over time. It focuses on the possibility of repairing the damage. According to reports, Ravi Dubey explained that the song is quite intense and non-linear. Additionally, the actor said that he did not find any reason to not associate with Badshah for this wondrous song. He also called Badshah accommodating for his excitement, enthusiasm, and consistent availability. 

Toxic starts with Ravi Dubey and Sargun Mehta constantly fighting over petty things. However, deep within, they crave for each other’s love and understanding. The duo reminisces old times when they used to live happily and were head over heels in love. But fate took another turn and their relationship goes into turmoil, as time passes. When it reaches extreme heights, Sargun Mehta realises how toxic they have become and is keen to make things normal. She sits beside her husband and holds her arm, much to his surprise.
