Aaditi Pohankar, who delivers a hard-hitting performance as Pammi, reflects on her character’s evolution, sharing, “Pammi’s journey has always been one of determination and self-discovery. She started as a vulnerable girl, but through her struggles, she found a strength she never knew she had. Those were the hidden gems, the moments that truly shaped her evolution. To prepare for this transformative journey, I simply followed the script as it was, without altering the emotions already embedded within. As an actor, my job was discovering what’s beneath the lines and bringing that to life. I didn’t need external preparation, it was all about feeling what Pammi felt as she stepped into her power.”

Shedding light on the emotional depth of her role, Aaditi added, “Portraying a character who is both strong and vulnerable is always a challenge. But in reality, vulnerability and strength go hand in hand. It’s in our most vulnerable moments that our true strength emerges — we just don’t always realize when or how it will surface. With Pammi, that’s exactly what happened. Her innocence was always her strength, but when that innocence was shattered, it forced her to rise stronger. And that to me is the essence of her journey.”

From a soul-stirring ghazal to a romantic ballad and an upbeat Bhojpuri song, the album is a vibrant showcase of different musical genres that perfectly capture the film’s eclectic and multifaceted themes.

Abbas Tyrewala shared “I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with both Chandan Roy Sanyal and Mohan Kannan, in the past. Chandan acted in and Mohan scored the music for one of my films, which unfortunately remains unreleased. Luckily, fate has given us another chance to come together, albeit in slightly different roles. While Chandan will be both on camera and behind it, Mohan will be composing music as a solo music director, not as part of Agnee. It will be fun working with them again — this time, in the capacity of a lyricist, by far my favourite job. Both Chandan and Mohan have a deep understanding and appreciation of music, lyrics, poetry, and the joy of language. I am certain this association will result in a very rich, eclectic and special album.”

Mohan Kannan shared, “As the Music Director of The Playback Singer, I am thrilled to be working on a project that revolves around music – it’s every composer’s dream. Chandan Roy Sanyal and Abbas Tyrewala are not only brilliant creative minds but also good friends, and I believe our understanding of each other will bring out the best in the film’s songs. Pankaj Mamtora and Devansh Patel from Lonestar Films have been incredibly supportive of the entire creative process, and I’m excited to work with them. Our collaboration promises to be a fun-filled ride, and I hope that our joy and enthusiasm will shine through in our music, allowing the audience to enjoy the film as much as we do!”

Chandan Roy Sanyal who will be debuting as a director with this film, shared, “I always wanted to do a romantic musical and being a fan of that genre in hindi films I feel the genre has gone amiss. The Playback Singer brings that musical nostalgia back. I believe that music has the power to evoke emotions and create a deep connection with the audience and our film intends to do just that. This is a story very close to my heart and I’m excited to bring it to life with such an amazing team of talented artists. The music, in particular, is a crucial character that drives the story, and I’m thrilled with the diverse range of tracks that Mohan and Abbas have created for the film. I can’t wait for audiences to experience the magic of this movie and its timeless music.”

Scheduled to begin shooting in the latter half of the year, ‘The Playback Singer’ is a heartwarming and enchanting tale of a girl’s musical world that fuels her aspirations, her enduring friendships, the man she loves, and the twists of fate that shape her life. With its timeless music and innovative storyline, the film is poised to captivate audiences and leave a lasting impression. Lonestar Films and Chandan Roy Sanyal Motion Pictures are collaborating to produce the film.
