Suhail Koya writes the spooky words for ‘Vayojana Zombie’, while Bibin Ashok and Sandy mix the beat. Hanan Shaah leads a gang of singers that includes Aswin Vijayan, Milan Joy and Amithav Suresh. The chemistry between Ganapathi, Sagar Surya, Ameen, Subin Tarzan and Sheethal makes this Prakambanam track a festival of fright.
The poet talks about an elderly zombie who bargains with ghosts and reads his name on temple lists. A water lily turns, bronze anklets laugh, and the line ‘I negotiate with ghosts’ sums up his bold mood. Shadows speak pure Malayalam, rice looks like blood, and the singer brags he is the main event.
