Synonymous to a skilfully rendered song for a music aficionado, Kausar Munir’s assorted play on words when participating in this interview could be delightful for any writer to consume. Case in point being the parallels she draws between her experience of working on Rashmi Rocket and a scene of a relay race involving leading lady Taapsee Pannu. “The [makers] hired us for the film, gave us the brief, and left us to do our job. There was no hand-holding involved. We worked on it, and let Taapsee take over. So it felt like [a baton] that was being passed on from them, to us, and then to Taapsee. It was all a beautiful teamwork,” says the lyricist of the film, which was composed by Amit Trivedi.
Trivedi and Munir’s winning team has delivered many a successful soundtrack, including her prominent work, Ishaqzaade (2012). She is swayed by the composer’s earnestness towards both, his work and his life. “He was like my partner on the crease. He is a man of great integrity, and originality. He isn’t among those who will open a programming software on his computer, or sit at a place and say, ‘Let’s get inspired’. He is wired into the script, and everything, right from the way [the songs] will sound, to how they will be sung, is his brainchild. That’s why it’s nice to collaborate with him.”
