. “I chanced upon his music accidentally when I was searching for something else. I connected with his music, which is original and has a distinct touch to it. We then spoke and discussed how we could collaborate. When he was in India earlier this year, just before the lockdown was imposed, we wrote, composed and recorded the song, which we then worked on through the pandemic,” she explains.
About the single itself, Nithya says, “The song is about something relevant and I can’t wait for people to hear it.” The actress is currently working with a team to shoot her portions of the video here, while Soumik’s portions will be done in London. “The pandemic doesn’t allow us to shoot the way we planned. But we will show both countries, with elements of Indian classical music, while still being in English, which is what the song is like,” she signs off.
