Swanand Kirkire

Giving the writer in him a break, lyricist Swanand Kirkire will feature on the soundtrack of Sudhir Mishra's Daas Dev as a singer. He has lent his voice to Aazad Kar, which has been penned by a new lyricist, Gaurav Solanki. "The song speaks of liberation at many levels. It's about liberating oneself from various compulsions that we create and then get buried under," says Kirkire.
