Initially, Bantay rapped only in English, but his father suggested that he rap in Hindi so that it would be easier for Indians to understand. In 2014, Amvi sang his first Hindi rap song “Aur Bantai”. The rap song became an instant hit.

Things didn’t end there, Amway responded by releasing yet another song titled “Giraftaar”.
