Ravi Kishan’s ‘Money Follows My Brother’ goes viral, brings back Surjit Bindrakhia’s iconic ‘Lakk Tunoo Tunoo’

Ravi Kishan is making headlines for all the right reasons with his latest song, ‘Money Follows My Brother’. Packed with high energy, flashy visuals and Ravi Kishan’s unmistakable screen presence, the track has quickly caught the attention of social media users. What makes the song even more interesting is its connection to the legendary late Punjabi singer Surjit Bindrakhia, whose iconic voice continues to live on through new-age music.

Ravi Kishan's Money Follows My Brother

The track brings together Mellow D, Surjit Bindrakhia and Ravi Kishan and gives a modern spin to Bindrakhia’s much-loved Punjabi number ‘Lak Tunoo Tunoo’. The familiar hook instantly brings a nostalgic Punjabi flavour to a song that otherwise feels fresh, contemporary and designed for the internet generation.

Ravi Kishan Turns His Viral Persona Into Music

A major attraction of ‘Money Follows My Brother’ is Ravi Kishan himself. Known for his energetic personality and larger-than-life presence, the actor-politician takes that same energy into the music video. From his blingy outfits to his expressive dance moves and lavish surroundings, Ravi Kishan makes the song feel like an extension of his viral internet persona.

In recent times, Ravi Kishan has become a favourite on social media, with older clips, statements, interviews and performances finding a new audience. His now-famous “money follows my brother” phrase has turned into a widely shared meme, with users across social media platforms putting their own humorous spin on it.

The new song appears to embrace that very internet phenomenon. Instead of shying away from the meme culture surrounding him, Ravi Kishan turns it into entertainment, giving audiences a track that is both catchy and highly meme-worthy.

Surjit Bindrakhia’s Voice Finds a New Generation

While Ravi Kishan may be driving the current buzz, the emotional and musical connection to Surjit Bindrakhia gives the song a deeper layer. His vocals in the track serve as a reminder of why his music remains so loved even years after his passing.

‘Lak Tunu Tunu’ was among Bindrakhia’s memorable numbers, and its inclusion in a contemporary track shows how strongly his music continues to influence Punjabi pop culture. His powerful voice and extraordinary vocal stamina made him one of the most recognisable voices in Punjabi music. He was famously known for holding notes for remarkably long durations, with performances often showcasing his legendary vocal control.

Legacy That Refuses to Fade

Surjit Bindrakhia’s musical journey was closely associated with lyricist Shamsher Sandhu and music director Atul Sharma, who were part of several of his memorable hits. His contribution to Punjabi music was also recognised posthumously when he received a special jury award at the 2004 Filmfare Awards.

His legacy has also continued through his son Gitaz Bindrakhia, who has followed in his footsteps as a singer and actor.

Decades later, Bindrakhia’s voice is still finding its way into modern music, proving that some artists never really leave the cultural conversation. With ‘Money Follows My Brother’, his iconic sound meets Ravi Kishan’s viral energy and the result is a nostalgic yet fresh musical moment that is giving social media plenty to talk about.
