Ester Noronha turns music composer for her next film

Ester Noronha had a few Kannada films lined up last year, all plans for which were scuttled by the pandemic. “This year, when theatres opened, I did have the release of the multi-lingual Shakeela. And hopefully, the films –

Lanke

, DNA and

Local Train

– should release this year, so, in that sense, 2021 is looking good. But I am also excited about a new Kannada-Konkani bilingual, the title of which will be announced on April 4. Directed by Shreyas Chinga, the film is a love story for which I have turned

music composer

as well. In fact, not many know that I am quite popular in the Konkani circuit as a singer. I am also trained in a few musical instruments and have been writing and composing my own stuff for a while. The lockdown gave me the time and opportunity to try my hand at composing for a film. There are two songs that I have written the lyrics for as well. I am looking forward for audiences to hear them,” she says.
