"Shaky" is a 2025 Marathi-language song by Indian singer-songwriter Sanju Rathod, featuring actress Isha Malviya. Released as single on April 22, 2025, the song was written, composed, and performed by Rathod, with music production by G-Spark.[1] The music video, directed by Himanshu Dhar, features Rathod and Malviya and was released under Rathod's official YouTube channel. "Shaky" blends traditional Marathi folk elements with contemporary sounds, including Afrobeats.[2][3]
Background
The song is written and performed by Sanju Rathod, with music production by G-Spark, who has previously collaborated with Rathod on chartbusters like "Nauvari Pahije", "Kali Bindi", and "Gulabi Sadi". The track also features Isha Malviya, marking her debut in Marathi music, where she wore a lehenga weighing 40-45 kgs while dancing, making it extremely difficult to take a single step, yet she performed the entire dance sequence, including the signature Shaky step.[2][4] For this track, Rathod blended contemporary sounds and Afrobeats with traditional Marathi folk elements.[5] The outro features a hauntingly layer created by G-Spark, who improvised a few lines from an old Banjara folk song. They recorded and processed his voice to mimic a choral female section.[6]
Discussing the song, Sanju Rathod stated:[7][8]
"Creating Shaky was like walking a tightrope between the traditional and the global. I wanted to keep that desi soul alive while experimenting with new sounds. Working with Isha for the first time was amazing – she brought so much energy and grace to the screen. It really elevated the whole vibe of the song. "Shaky" is my first step towards carving out a Marathi pop culture — the next big wave to watch out for."
