It’s a new age R&B song, a first of its kind in Bollywood and is in complete sync with his in-film character. At first, we weren’t sure of whether this would work but the first scratch itself was a hit and we decided to go ahead,” he added.

Sachin Sanghavi said it was his idea to get Sidharth to rap because he understands the genre of hip hop and rap to a great extent. “We discussed a lot about music in general in the studio and if given a chance once again we would love to collaborate with him again. He has a baritone voice which is hard to miss. We are very excited with the kind of music we have scored for A Gentleman. It’s very experimental and diverse and we are touching upon every genre possible,” he added.
