Singer Abhay Jodhpurkar has become the breakout vocal talent behind the acclaimed soundtrack of the silent film Gandhi Talks. Two songs, 'Jara Jara Man Khulavate' and 'Angai' (Lullaby), composed by A.R. Rahman, are capturing listeners' attention.
Jodhpurkar described his collaboration with Rahman as a "lifetime experience," noting that each project reveals new facets of his voice. He recalled recording the lullaby in early 2022, with a sore throat adding a unique texture that suited the film's narrative. This marks another significant collaboration following his debut with Rahman in 2013.
Working on a silent film presented a unique challenge, with music carrying the narrative. Jodhpurkar praised director Kishore Belekar's clear vision, which allowed for artistic freedom and a smooth creative process. He expressed immense pride in being part of Gandhi Talks, a project that holds a special place in his heart.
Abhay Jodhpurkar has a prolific career, having sung over 150 songs in South Indian cinema and making his Bollywood debut with 'Mere Naam Tu.' He has since contributed to over 300 projects across 14 languages.
