Indian American Committee Releases Bollywood-Themed Video Supporting Harris

An Indigenous-Democrat fundraiser launched a new digital video Thursday titled “I’LL VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS-TIM WALZ” to rally South Asian voters in key battleground states.

The Bollywood-inspired video, featuring the instrumental version of the film Animal based on one of AR Rahman’s iconic songs “Dil Hai Chhota Sa, Chhoti Si Asha” from the film Roja, aims to connect with South Asian communities across Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona and North Carolina.

“This is the time for us to come together and show our support for Kamala Harris,” said Ajay Bhutoria, a member of the National Finance Committee for Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign.

He also announced plans to release additional Bollywood-inspired videos as part of ongoing efforts to increase voter turnout for Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz.

“The choice is clear between Kamala Harris’ vision for a better future and Trump’s division. Thousands of volunteers from South Asia are organizing themselves, knocking on doors and making appeals to help win this race,” he said.

In the video, Bhutoria highlights how these themes resonate with Vice President Harris’ message of hope and unity.

“Vice President Harris embodies joy and hope for our community. She is running to build a future that goes beyond the division of Donald Trump. She represents hope for more than 5 million Indian Americans. We are using Bollywood music to engage our community and ensuring their voices are heard,” he said.

The video, conceptualized by Ajay and Vinita Bhutoria and produced by Awesome TV’s Ritesh Parikh, features messages in multiple languages, including Telugu, Gujarati, Punjabi, Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Malayalam and Urdu.

Parikh stated, “Bollywood has always connected people through stories, and Kamala Harris reflects that spirit by bringing people together. She brings joy and hope to all of us.”
