Confirming the same, he mentioned that the film’s music is so integral to its story that he felt compelled to introduce it to audiences before the screening.
While talking about his inspiration during an interview with Bombay Times last year, Rahman had said, “Every person’s journey is unique. We go through different ups and downs and discover things that other people don’t. I have experienced so much in life through my journey, so it’s interesting to put it in a movie and present it to people. Over the years, I have seen beauty, struggle, redemption and love. This is what the movie is all about… there are a lot of songs, so I need to plan on releasing them one by one, as I want people to be introduced to the songs much before the release of the film.”
