From distinct story-lines to diverse musical genres, the past months have been a phase of experimentation for Shashank Arora

You would assume an intriguing story awaits you when you inquire what led to naming a song Kya Iss gaane ka naam hai, but Shashank Arora brushes the question with a pithy: "It was impulsively named." Fortunately, the track in itself is more promising than this lacklustre response. In his first attempt at creating electronic music, Arora manages to hold attention with mid-tempo beats in a genre generally associated with fast-paced numbers. "I usually create acoustical sounds with the ukulele or flute, and vocals, but have been creating electronica and hip-hop with a classical twist, of late."
The Made in Heaven 2019actor has enjoyed as much attention as a musician as he has for his prowess before the camera, but it was for Anurag Kashyap-s co-production, the Indian crime drama, Moothon 2019 that he first turned composer. "In the past, [while working on] Brahman Naman, India-s first [series] on Netflix, I was playing Bikhre in the vanity van. The makers walked in and bought it instantly," says the actor of his celebrated number.
