Sandip Soparrkar’s High-Voltage Performance Gulliga Gulliga Becomes Talk Of South Industry
The high-octane number, released after Zee Music acquired the film’s audio rights, celebrates the power and mystique of the fierce coastal deity Guliga, whose legend has garnered nationwide attention.
Penned by writer-director Sudheer Attavara, the rap-style track blends regional folklore with contemporary musicality. The song is composed by Gopi Sundar, with impactful vocals by Javed Ali and Attavara himself. Sundar has also contributed additional vocal sections, enriching the musical layers of the anthem.
At the heart of the visual spectacle is Soparrkar, who not only choreographed the entire sequence along with his assistant Ashutosh Arya but, also Soparrkar performs the intense and spiritually charged Guliga dance. His portrayal stands out for its raw strength, measured aggression, and the trance-like energy that embodies the deity’s aura.
Sandip Soparrkar said, “Playing Gulliga Daiva in the film Koragajja felt less like a role and more like a sacred responsibility. It allowed me to surrender to a divine energy far greater than myself. I am thankful to my director Sudheer Attavar and producer Trivikram Sapalya as they connected me to the living soul of our folk traditions. I feel blessed and honoured to bring this powerful spirit-form to the screen.”
The song also features actor Sardar Satya as Panjurli, Kabir Bedi and Actress Bhavya adding depth to a crucial narrative moment where Guliga and Panjurli come together to meet Koragajja.
The song’s shoot was an ambitious undertaking. Filmed at Someshwara Beach, Mangaluru, the production deployed two 100-foot cranes and five cameras to capture the grandeur and rhythm of the performance. Despite environmental and logistical hurdles—from unpredictable tides to large-crowd management—producer Thrivikram Sapalya ensured the shoot progressed smoothly, even securing police protection to complete the sequence safely.
Produced by Success Films and Thrivikrama Cinemas, Koragajja is currently in post-production and is gearing up for a January 2026 release.
