Badshah has released Chimna, his first Marathi song, pairing his hip-hop style with singer Divya Kumar and Marathi folk performer Nagesh Morwekar. The release gives the Badshah search trend a music story with a clear result: a new track is available across major streaming services, while its video was filmed in Kolhapur.

The Times of India, carrying an ANI report on August 31, said Chimna became available on August 31, 2026. The report describes the song as a meeting point between a traditional rural hook and Badshah’s rap verses. Kumar and Morwekar add distinct vocal and regional elements to a track built for a broad pop audience.
Badshah said the song was his way of celebrating regional music and Maharashtra’s creative culture. That statement explains the choice of language and the collaboration. The release is not presented as a translation of one of his older Hindi songs. It is a new recording that uses Marathi references and a folk connection while keeping the rhythmic structure associated with his mainstream work.
The music video was shot in Kolhapur, according to the report. That location gives the visual campaign a direct link to the song’s regional identity. The article does not provide a full production credit list, so details about the director, budget, choreography or future live performances should not be added without another confirmed source.
Apple Music’s artist page lists Chimna as a single released on August 28, 2026. Streaming services can show a different date from a press announcement because of distribution windows, regional delivery or metadata updates. The important point for listeners is that the song is available now on major platforms, while the official availability date should be checked in the service used by each listener.
Regional-language releases have become a practical way for national artists to reach listeners without leaving their established sound behind. Chimna follows that route by using a Maharashtra-focused lyric and visual setting rather than treating Marathi music as a short promotional add-on. Its performance will depend on listeners and platforms, not on the search spike alone. At this stage, the confirmed news is the collaboration, the August release, the Kolhapur video location and the song’s availability for streaming.
