Vishal, who performed with Rekha Bhardwaj in the recent album launch of 'Khufiya', spoke about the rhythms and musical cadence.
He said: "The process of creating music for a film is usually so organic and mixed up that it’s very difficult for me to bifurcate it. In the case of 'Khufiya, ' there is a theme in the film, a whistle which is my favourite melody."
"I thought I had not exploited it fully and hence I decided to create a song around it - 'Dil Dushman'. It's an exciting first for me, to create a song for a film months after the film's music was initially composed. I am thrilled that we had the opportunity to unveil our album for all of you, and I was even more delighted to perform live and share the stage with Rekha at this event, " shared Vishal.
" 'Khufiya' is a film that features a total of nine songs, sung by some of the finest in the industry, Rekha Bhardwaj, Arijit Sing, Sunidhi Chauhan, Jyoti Nooran, Rahul Ram. Each of these songs contribute to the film's unique musical tapestry, " added Vishal.
