Film score composer Julius Packium shares how challenging it was to compose music for Ali Abbas Zafar’s ‘Jogi’ and why it was altogether a different experience to score for Akshay Kumar-starrer ‘Cuttputlli’.
He says ‘Jogi’ is a beautiful story about friendship, through a very tough time in Indian political history when there were riots in Delhi in 1984 where Sikhs were persecuted.
“It’s a touching story yet at the same time it’s a very sad tale about how our socio-political situation deteriorated tremendously in that period. I would say to an extent ‘Jogi’ was quite challenging because I had to watch a lot of sensitive scenes while scoring.”
“They were tugging at the heartstrings and it’s not comfortable to compose music where it’s very sentimental and sad. So, from that aspect ‘Jogi’ was a little tough to create,” adds the composer known for his scores...
