Development
Ravi Basrur composed the songs and the background score, in his second collaboration with Prashanth Neel, after Ugramm (2014).[3] The composition and recording of the film's music took more than three years, and about 400 musicians from various parts of the world, 20 sound producers and prominent orchestras working on the score cues, increased anticipation around the film's music.[3] In order to experiment with the score, Basrur had composed the tunes mostly through keyboard. He added that the score will be "on par with Hollywood standards" and had met Hollywood technicians and record producers for the score. He further added, "The cinematographer [Bhuvan Gowda] and I have worked closely to ensure there’s a sync in ideas of the director. Even though I have done very few films, I feel that sound designing plays a prominent role".[3]
