Scary songs by Ajay-Atul

Talking about the success of the Adipurush song, Ajay told B4U Entertainment, “When Zingaat came, everyone was scared of that song, except us. But then we were told to make a song that can beat Zingaat. But even we couldn’t do it. Zingaat was a scary song. And now, Jai Shri Ram is a scary song.”

He added that one must raise the bar from one’s own level each time, and past laurels alone cannot be always the ones to be celebrated. “Every day comes with new challenges and you expect something new from yourself and we always choose something like that.”

Ajay revealed in the interview that there was no reference for the song when Adipurush director Om Raut approached them. He added that a few great songs have been made on Lord Ram but there was no previous reference for the cinematic language to be used for a song that can be feature in a movie. Ajay said, as they are the first ones to do such a song, they are not scared of comparisons.
