Sneha (TOI Photo)‘I dabbled in a bit of everything’
She’s young and super cool. Meet 24-year old Sneha Khanwalkar, debutante music director, who’s debuting with no other than Ram Gopal Varma’s Go!
“We shifted from Indore to Mumbai six years ago. My father thought being in a big town would benefit me and it certainly has because I couldn’t have stayed back in Indore and made it to Bollywood,” says Sneha.
For a while, Sneha dabbled in a little bit of everything. “I started with animation and I also tried my hand at art direction. So when I thought, that it was music that I wanted to devote my life to, I was afraid of breaking that news to my parents. I had already left many things half way and I didn’t want my parents to fly off the roof,” says Sneha, who remembers a childhood where singing was a way of life, and she was often pestered at family outings to render a line or two.
How did she end up as the music director of Go and also got to compose a song for Sarkar 2? “It wasn’t easy. I mean, how do you convince legends that you will be able to pull a film through when you are so young and you happen to dress in pedal pushers?” laughs Sneha.
But get to RGV, she did. “I got his number through a friend and I walked in his office and told him — “I want to compose songs.” At that point of time, he was working on the script of Go and he gave me a one sentence brief and asked me to come up with a song. I went home, composed a song, sang and recorded it and went back to him. And well, he hired me!”
Did she face RGV’s famous bouts of mood swings? “Well, he is moody but in a creative sense of the term. He’s always thinking of ways to improvise, of one project after another and it’s very exciting to work in this fashion. Every day, there is some challenge set out for you, he wants you to compose something that fits in with his vision and I loved doing that,” says Sneha, who likes to work in Bollywood because it is a perfect place to set music to visuals, to emotions and expressions.
“I like to work on songs that are situational, those that are very important to a script. Of the songs that I have composed so far, I have tried to experiment phonetically. In my other assignments, I would like to bring in more poetry in lyrics,” says Sneha, who already has quite a few projects tucked safe in her kitty.
What does she think of her skills? “When I compose a song, the test is, can I groove to it? Do I like to listen to it? If I can, then I believe my audiences would,” says Sneha.
Has her association with RGV made people take her seriously? “Well, yes. It’s because of that and also because I have stopped wearing pedal pushers. I wear denims now.”

“At that point of time, I used to get turned off by the whole thing. I mean, where ever we went, my sister and I were asked to sing a song. I thought, I will do anything but music and here I am, composing music for films!” says Sneha.
