Ayushmann Khurrana steps into Haryanvi pop with his EP 'The Heartbreak Chhora'

Bollywood’s multi-talented actor Ayushmann Khurrana has set the stage for a musical breakthrough with the release of his first-ever Haryanvi EP, which dropped on Friday, in collaboration with Warner Music India. As Ayushmann makes a big leap into Haryanvi pop with his latest EP titled The Heartbreak Chhora -- the EP also marks a lot of firsts for the artist.

This EP marks the first time a Punjabi singer has lent his voice to a Haryanvi song. Ayushmann brings his soft charm to the heartbreak anthem, a refreshing break from the hard-hitting, swagger-filled Haryanvi tracks. With groovy beats and an emotional core, the song blends vulnerability with rhythm, proving once again why Ayushmann is a trendsetter in both music and cinema.

The first track is set to redefine music videos with a one-of-a-kind, AI-generated visualiser video that blends striking artistry with quirky, eye-catching visuals. Ayushmann is the first mainstream Bollywood artist to have an AI music video, pushing creative boundaries with his latest track.

Penned by Kunwar Juneja and Krishna Bharadwaj, and composed by Jaya Rohilla and Gourov Dasgupta with Haryanvi consultant Vaibhav Dewan, ‘The Heartbreak Chhora’ captures the rollercoaster of heartbreak with an irresistibly fun and upbeat soundtrack.

The EP also features two additional tracks, ‘Ho Gaya Pyar Re’, a soulful romantic ballad, and ‘Drive to Murthal’, an upbeat love anthem—showcasing Ayushmann’s musical versatility.

On Thursday, he also put out a video on his Instagram talking about his Haryana connection.
