Anubhav Sinha steps into the world of music
Speaking to Variety India about his new venture, Sinha revealed that ‘Benaras Beat’ was an idea he had been nurturing for nearly seven to eight years. The filmmaker, who has been passionate about music since childhood, also revealed that he began formally learning music around three years ago.“There is a very interesting saying that if you want to do something and you don’t do anything about it, then it’s a dream, and if you want to do something and you do a lot about it, then it’s an ambition. ‘Benaras Beat’ was formed in my head and in the office about seven-eight years ago. I love music, so much so that three years back I started learning it. It’s been my passion since childhood; there is music playing in my room all the time,” he said.Sinha explained that the idea initially stemmed from his desire to create music outside the world of films. However, the project took time to materialise as he struggled to put together a team.“The idea germinated when I thought I would make music outside of films as well, but I could not set up a team. It started taking shape about a year back when I started working with a couple of composers; the whole team was set up, and now we have created some exclusive songs,” he added.
