'Laal Singh Chaddha': Composer Tanuj Tiku reveals over 150 people have worked on the score for the Aamir Khan starrer

Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan's 'Laal Singh Chaddha' is one of the most awaited films of this year. The trailer was released recently and it has been loved by the audience. Aamir and his team are leaving no stone unturned to promote the film.
The makers also released two songs from the film. Both of them have been received well by the fans. The score composer Tanuj Tiku has spoken about the brief that was given to him and his team.
Tiku shared, "It was a slice-of-life film. Aamir sir likes Panchgani, which is why we worked there with a bunch of musicians. We played live, jammed together, and created the thematic music there. Within two weeks, all the thematic material and character motifs were readied."
He further added, "The culture at [Aamir's production house], and Advait's relationship with him, is noteworthy. There is always a plan in place, but the process is organic. We watched the film and immediately decided to jump into the score composition. My team and I began to ideate, and we [primarily used] the violin, piano, and guitar. We'd perform the themes to him live, and the first few days were simply spent in sampling these [chunks], listening to music and creating different colour palettes for different characters and themes, based on the brief."
Tiku was certain that he wanted orchestral influences to be apparent in the score in keeping with its theme. He admits that generating a score of over 19 minutes posed a set of challenges, especially since it had to be recorded live. He said, "But the story is beautiful, and we wanted the score to complement it. The harmonic language and the simplicity of the character is at the film's core. There are musical layers that help narrate the story. Over 150 people have worked on the score, including 75 musicians from the orchestra. The music for the trailer was recorded in Budapest."
'Laal Singh Chaddha' also stars Mona Singh, and Chaitanya Akkineni.
