What made AR Rahman add Dhakka Laga Bukka in Tandav:

On the subject of the inclusion of Dhakka Laga Bukka in Tandav, a blog post on BookMyShow quoted Rahman saying that the Amazon Original series evokes similar kinds of emotions from the viewers as Yuva. It is due to that parallel between the two shows which convinced Rahman to include this song from the 2004 feature. Other songs that are a part of the Tandav Original Sound Track are yet to be made available to the listeners. A Tandav promo that features the revamped version of the iconic youth anthem can be found below as well as on Amazon Prime Video's YouTube channel.
