The French comedy-drama series, Call My Agent, is peculiar for its rather sombre music palette. Its Indian counterpart is significantly distinct. Score composer Pranaay says his primary brief was to include colourful, vivacious, and energetic sounds.
“Shaad [Ali, director] wanted to employ jazz and new-age music. We created many themes for the [celebrity management] agency shown in the series. It’s called Art. The themes were created to do justice to Rajat Kapoor’s character, which has shades of grey. For that of Aahana Kumra, we needed up-tempo music, and hence, used bebop and jazz. The music is bright and energetic, because these are the guys who are managing the lives of celebrities. The agents exude bonhomie,” he says, adding that he didn’t use old Bollywood tunes to establish the fact that the series is set in the film industry.
