When Pune-based Indian rock band Agnee came up with the song Hello Andheron for the Hindi dubbed version of The Avengers in 2012, there were many who praised the band’s creation. However, the artistes were not prepared for some of the nasty remarks that came their way too. “The song put us out there as an artiste for millions of people who didn’t know we existed. However, the recognition wasn’t all good,” says Mohan, the lead vocalist of Agnee. Elaborating, he says that many people wrote comments on YouTube saying they’d burn the movie hall if The Avengers played their song in the end, or things like ‘how can Disney have a Hindi song for Avengers’. “But some music reviewers loved it. I remember reading a review from Los Angeles where this guy said, ‘I don’t know what any of the words mean, but the guitar solo is badass.’ I loved reading that,” Mohan adds. 

Mohan, lead vocalist of Agnee and Koco, the band’s lead guitarist, have composed music for Abbas Tyrewala’s upcoming film Mango
