The rapper even got his co-star Tom Hardy and talk show host Jimmy Kimmel to promote his single, Mogambo

In a couple of days (October 3), ‘Venom’ actor Riz Ahmed will have released his first solo single called Mogambo. The Emmy-winning and Golden Globe-nominated British Pakistani actor otherwise pursues his passion for music as one half of rap duo Swet Shop Boys.

While there’s little to go by, Riz tweeted a teaser last week…

He then went on Jimmy Kimmel’s show to promote his upcoming film, Venom and even got the show host to mouth the famous Bollywood dialogue, ‘Mogambo khush hua” from the film Mr India. The villain’s name also happens to be the name of his solo single.
