Q. You created a music video for Bheege Bheege. Tell us about it.
A. The idea was to keep the video simple. It’s about an urban city girl, so, we chose to go with shooting in a simple flat instead of a fancy farmhouse. The focus was to showcase her emotions. I chose to play a character in the story instead of presenting it like a singer who is performing. Everyone in the team who heard the song, unanimously felt that it should be treated in black and white. We have used rain and slow motion shots as it lends to the mood of the song.
Q. What’s next?
A. There are two more songs coming up. Then we will release it as a trio. The next two songs will also have the same theme that is heartbreak, but the moods will be different. The second song will be intense. It will be produced by international producer, Juno Reactor and will feature Veena maestro Narayan Mani and Sarod player Sarang Kulkarni. The video for this song will be shot in colour, the mood however will be quite dark. The song will belong to the World music genre, with an Indian touch. The third song will reflect a new avatar of the girl which she discovers through her pain.
