We spoke to an emotional Anand as soon as he finished seeing the movie. “I cried when the song played on the big screen. I cried because it has been my mothers‘ dream to see me sing a song in a feature film, and a dream of my own to sing for the amazing Amit Trivedi! Up until 2014, I was in a dead-end corporate job, not knowing if I will ever do music full time, let alone sing for Amit Trivedi for an Akshay Kumar film”.

Earlier, Anand has composed all the songs for the hit web series Mirzapur and has sung the promo song for Baaghi 2.
