By the time I was approached for Drishyam 2 in Hindi. So, I haven’t actually watched it except for Hindi. I thought ‘okay, let me keep my perspective fresh.’"

We wanted a deep vocal. I predominately used the cello as the core instrument. After I composed the tune, everybody liked it instantly. And, then Amitabh began writing. I could imagine this song in the voice of the legendary Usha Uthup. Everyone sank into the idea and I always wanted to collaborate with her. She has a very unique voice"
