In 2014, I composed the music for 'Jai Ho' which premiered in Dubai and I was a 23-year-old kid back then.

I listen to a lot of music from outside, lot of background scores.

The remake of 'Gulaabi Aankhein' went into a bad spin and I'll only hold myself responsible for it. I shouldn't have done it.

For 'Kabir Singh,' an entirely original album had to be done and that's how music should be made, but unfortunately that does not happen as the labels and the producers are more interested in fast food music.

It is such an honor to be one of the youngest composers to compose for an Amitabh Bachchan film.

Mozart composed his music not for the elite, but for everybody.

In a lot of the Regency stuff we've seen in the past, we see a very composed woman. There's not much sexuality there. It's very much the male gaze.

Know what the old masters did. Know how they composed their pictures, but do not fall into the conventions they established. These conventions were right for them, and they are wonderful. They made their language. You make yours. All the past can help you.

I never really composed guitar solos. Id usually ask to run the tapes and Id go off the top of my head to make something work.
