Among those who tracked the story closely were brothers Subir Malik and Nitin Malik, from rock band, Parikrama. So when they learnt that a movie was being made on the whistleblower&rsquo;s life, they met director Sandeep Varma, who evinced an interest in them to compose the film&rsquo;s music. &ldquo;When we met Sandeep, we learnt that Manjunath was a big fan of our band Parikrama, so that was another connecting factor. We agreed to compose the music immediately,&rdquo; says Subir.
The creative freedom that Sandeep allowed them for composing the music, was one of the things they are really thankful for. &ldquo;The album is an eclectic mix of genres. There&rsquo;s a hard-hitting rock song by KK, a soft, emotional number by Shankar Mahadevan called Amma and a free-flowing song called Gol by Papon among others,&rdquo; adds Subir.
The positive response they received from the audience and the industry have encouraged the trio &mdash; who go by the name SNS for their projects that are separate from the band &mdash; to be open to more Bollywood projects. Is Parikrama open to such offers as well? &ldquo;As of now, the band isn&rsquo;t keen on taking up Bollywood offers but you never know. As SNS, we are looking forward to more projects in the future,&rdquo; adds Subir.
