A song launch on the banks of the Ganga
Ganesh Acharya unveiled Bum Bum, a song from his upcoming biopic Ganesh: Dust to Stardust, at Namo Ghat in Varanasi on November 14. The choreographer and filmmaker chose the riverside venue for a track dedicated to Lord Shiva. Amar Ujala reported from Varanasi, and ANI independently covered the unveiling for Asianet Newsable.
The launch brought members of the film’s cast together with local residents and devotees, ANI reported. In remarks at the event, Acharya connected his choice of city to the song’s subject. Amar Ujala reported that he also spoke about what Kashi and its culture had meant to his career. The outlet reported that he later attended the Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat, a separate stop after the song unveiling at Namo Ghat.

Amar Ujala credits Acharya with writing the lyrics and identifies Junaid Kumar and Kalyan Vasant as the singers. Acharya told ANI that the song appears near the start of the film and helps set its energy. That places the number early in a story about the choreographer’s life and the struggles that preceded his success, as ANI described the project.
Both outlets give December 11, 2026, as the film’s scheduled release date. The Varanasi event was a preview of the music ahead of that date. It also put Acharya in the role of lyricist on a film about his own career, alongside the work in choreography for which he is known. The launch coverage establishes where and when the song was unveiled and how Acharya says it will be used in the film.
