Ramit Mehta and Paras Thakur opened up their collaboration with Lucky
Paras said of the song, “It is like a multi-layered thought. But it came from the movie. It came from the brief and the scene that we watched. It was to serve that emotion. It is about asking questions to yourself and your loved one. It is nostalgic and bittersweet. And we tried our best to fit in the right way, using our own voice.”
Moreover, He continued, “It was a wonderful, pleasant experience for all of us. Writing ideas and finding the right fit was like a new learning since this was something that we haven’t pursued before. Then the search for the perfect voice began. And no one is better than Mr Lucky Ali to exude the nostalgia and bittersweet feeling through his voice. And him loving the song and jumping on it as well was a very wonderful thing for us.”
As for Paras he shared, “We’re very happy that this is happening. There’s a lot more comfort now with the independent artists being approached by production houses for films, for tv shows, for other projects. And I think they’re also seeing that because of the Internet, the independent artists have their own character, and have their own vibe. Earlier, the biggest issue was there were extremely talented people, but they were not getting the apt exposure.”
He continues, “So as long as the artist is given the right support, and being given that artistic freedom to pursue something that he believes in, then something authentic and something wonderful can come out of it. A lot of people do feel, due to this association, sometimes artists are pushed to do some things that they might not want to do. There’s a lot of potential in this country. As long as people know how to maximize the artist’s potential and energy, it’ll be good.”
Needless to say, their fans are as excited as they are for the song.
