Singer and music director Amit Trivedi opens up on composing music for the first song ‘Gaya Gaya Gaya’ from R Balki’s directorial venture ‘Chup: Revenge Of The Artist’. He shares how he tried to compliment the storyline with his tunes.
Amit explains: “‘Chup’ is a versatile film and it comes from a one-of-a-kind storyline. We had to compose something that could fall in line with the film’s essence and we found ‘Gaya Gaya Gaya’. We necessarily focused on keeping the romantic element of the song alive without losing on the film’s enigmatic hint in it.”
The song is written by lyricist Swanand Kirkire and sung by Rupali Moghe and Shashwat Singh.
Balki, who is known for his films such as ‘Padman’ has made this film taking inspiration from Guru Dutt’s 1959 classic ‘Kaagaz Ke Phool’.

The trailer of ‘Chup’, directed by veteran ad filmmaker and director R. Balki, was released on Monday. A film centred around revenge killings, the needle of suspicion in it points to a filmmaker, who’s believed to have committed the murders after critics panned his movie while being generous to what he believes less-deserving films.
The serial killer thriller stars Dulquer Salmaan, fresh off his success in Sita Rama, who plays the film director, Pooja Bhatt, Sunny Deol and Shreya Dhanwanthary.
The film seems to come from a very personal space of Balki, whose some films have failed to impress the critics. He even went on to call out the critics in the past over their pretentious attitude towards movies with mainstream elements.
Talking about the germ of the idea, Balki said: “I had this idea for the story a long time ago and I don’t know why I...

Mumbai-based leading non-profit organisation working on the issue of Child Sexual Abuse has engaged Bollywood star Vidya Balan as their goodwill ambassador. She had played the role of Durga Rani Singh a survivor of child sexual abuse, in the movie Kahaani 2, where she saved another child who was being sexually abused by her uncle.
Child Sexual Abuse (Csa) is a startling everyday reality for as many as half of the country’s children (National Child Abuse Study 2007). With the ever-increasing reports of child sexual abuse, we know that the scenario is not too different even today. Yet it is still an issue that is barely addressed. There is a limited acceptance that Csa happens and that it has a significant impact on children. Csa can lead to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (Ptsd), depression, anxiety, addictions, and suicidal thoughts and can continue to disrupt the child’s life during adulthood if not healed.
