00:00But our counsellor is not here, Sheeba Chaddha.

00:07That is true.

00:08She is more of a judge.

00:09Sheeba has a very judgemental way of looking at your life.

00:13Should we do it again?

00:16You won't be able to do it.

00:19You know, counselling becomes consoling.

00:23That day itself, Rajesh sir and Anand ji talked about the same thing.

00:33That you should bring out your Saurabh in your own way.

00:38You don't need to copy.

00:40The way you look at the character, move that forward.

00:44So, that was for that.

00:46And when I saw that it was not an easy series.

00:51Because Anand motivated me a lot.

00:54Because when I saw that he was sitting in different sessions with the music.

00:59He made Sarangi do classes.

01:01So, it was not like he was doing anything.

01:04There was a thought process behind everything.

01:06Whether it was scripting or music.

01:09Sarangi could have cheated.

01:11But a lot of effort was made for the actor to come close to that instrument.

01:18And to feel that connection.

01:20When I saw the first season, I saw that connection.

01:23It was not just singing.

01:25When I had my first shoot, I saw Sheba ji and Atul ji working on the notation.

01:31So, it was not like you were lip syncing.

01:33You had to do the notation properly.

01:35You did it by remembering it and rehearsing it.

01:38So, thank you very much.

01:41You have inspired us a lot.

01:44One thing about Saurabh.

01:46Saurabh and I have a very good relationship.

01:49We have known each other for many years.

01:51So, Saurabh has never done English plays.

01:53He has done a lot of Hindi plays.

01:54He wanted to do something in English.

01:57So, we gave him some English words that Saurabh only had to say.

02:04So, in 8 episodes, we found a place for him.

02:07Where can we say these words?

02:09I have done my own dubbing in the English version of Saurabh.

02:39So, many composers came together to create songs.

02:42Which are very relevant to the episodes that you will see.

02:46And who is it being shot on.

02:49For example, there is a song that Shankar Mahadevan sir has sung for Atul sir.

02:53That comes at a very important time in this season.

02:57Called Surhi Parmatma.

02:59So, we worked with different composers for different reasons.

03:10What I learnt from Shankar Hassan Loi in season 1 is.

03:13That our composers are not just dealing with melodies.

03:17They have been dealing with storytelling all along.

03:19And that we have seen in all their work.

03:21From the time they did Mission Kashmir to Bandish Bandits.

03:25They have always told you stories as they went along.

03:27When they created Bhoomroo Bhoomroo.

03:30Or when they created Virah.

03:32There was a reason why those two songs were in those two interesting stories.

03:36And that's the learning we took forward in season 2.

03:40Where, anyway Bandish Bandits is a place where music is part of their lives.

03:45Every time they are singing, they are not just singing to an audience.

03:48There is so much interpersonal drama happening in their lives.

03:50So, season 2 is pretty much that.

03:52But without giving you any spoilers.

03:54When you see those songs, there is a reason why there are different composers this time.

03:58And of course, with the blessings of SEL.

04:01We were able to do that.

04:04Because the journey that Gharana takes.

04:07And the journey Tamanna's world takes.

04:15Unlike films, which are to be told in 2 and half hours or 3 hours.

04:19Unlike that, in a web show, the story can be told in a very elaborate manner.

04:28So, in web shows, there is a journey.

04:31Of course, there are turning points and there are twists and all that.

04:35But for characterizations, it's more of many pointers.

04:40And that way, for all the characters.

04:44Not only for the Vijay's character.

04:46There are a lot many pointers on which we write.

04:51I think every medium is owned by everyone.

04:54If the theater was the medium of actors.

04:57You wouldn't remember the greatest playwright Shakespeare's name.

05:00You would have remembered the guy who actually played Romeo.

05:02So, I don't agree on that.

05:05But I will agree to the fact that the amount of exploration as Atul was mentioning.

05:11Writers get to explore a story with different characters.

05:17Writers don't get that in films.

05:19They have to be kept in a finite time.

05:22No matter how many sequels you do.

05:24So, you could in that way say it's a writer's medium.

05:29But I don't agree that one is purely one person's medium.

05:33Or one discipline's medium.

05:35Everything has to come together in all these performing arts.

05:38To make a film.

05:40So, I don't agree on that.

05:43Everything has to come together in all these performing arts.

05:45To tell you the right story for that medium.

05:53Yes, there is a very important one.

05:55That 13th of December on Amazon Prime.

05:59All the episodes come out.

06:01So, please do watch it.

06:02And watch it as much of binge as you possibly can.

06:06And please sleep also.

06:08But binge it and then sleep.

06:10And then please write to us.

06:12I really hope you like it.

06:13And if enough of you like it.

06:15Then maybe there is more in store.
