Sharing his thoughts on the film Abhishek, who's also a renowned music director and percussionist, said: "The art of dance is definitely near my heart, especially me as an Indian classical tabla player. When I first browse the story from Alo Basu, I was surprised and got so many positive vibes, especially inside this pandemic situation.
The story took me to my childhood days where we used to see these varieties of drama films being manufactured in the black and white era. I have always been a follower of filmmakers like Bimal Roy, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Satyajit Ray, Rittik Ghatak, Tapan Sinha, and Gautam Ghosh. I should say it as a musical in a single way as dance and music are linked to each other in a solid way. You will see more of Indian classical music, and just a little mixture of the western classical symphony. Avik Ganguly has done fabulous are my co-music director."
