Auteur Imtiaz Ali, who is gearing up for his upcoming streaming movie ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’, revealed that he did his first music sitting with music composer Pritam at a footpath. Imtiaz, who is known for films like ‘Jab We Met’, ‘Rockstar’, Highway and ‘Tamasha’, frequently collaborates with Pritam and the Oscar and Grammy-winning composer A. R. Rahman.
While ‘Amar Singh Chamkila’ has music by Rahman, Imtiaz has often said that for his romantic films, he likes to collaborate with Pritam, and when the narrative is deeper and philosophical, A.R. Rahman becomes his best choice for the genre. The director collaborated with Pritam on ‘Jab We Met’, the film and its music have over the years gained a cult status. Imtiaz recently told Mashable India, “Maine aur Pritam apni pehli music sitting footpath pe ki hai.”
