“Creating ‘Awargi’ for Raisinghani vs Raisinghani Was a Joyful Experience” – Nikhil Kamath

Renowned composer Nikhil Kamath has added another feather to his cap with his latest composition, ‘Awargi,’ for the popular web series ‘Raisinghani vs Raisinghani.’ Nikhil Kamath, who has a rich legacy in the music industry, is celebrated for his contributions to films such as ‘Bewafa Sanam’, ‘English Babu Desi Mem’, ‘Tum Bin’, ‘Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam’, and ‘Phir Milenge’ as part of the composer duo Nikhil – Vinay. He has also made a mark with non-film albums like ‘Shikhar’, ‘Jaan’, and ‘Hasrat’. For over 15 years, Nikhil has been working independently, creating numerous soulful melodies that have resonated with audiences.

‘Awargi’ is a romantic number that beautifully captures the essence of the relationship between the characters played by Jennifer Winget and Karan Wahi in ‘Raisinghani vs Raisinghani,’ one of the most successful web series on Sony LIV. The series portrays the complex and evolving relationship between Anushka (Jennifer Winget) and Virat (Karan Wahi), who navigate their on-again, off-again romance. As Virat decides to commit fully to Anushka, the series needed a song that would reflect this pivotal moment with a strong melody and meaningful lyrics.

Bhavna Sresth, the showrunner of the series, reached out to Nikhil with the vision of a soulful melody that would align seamlessly with the narrative. During a meeting at SoBo Films, Nikhil met Bhavna and Anuradha Tewari, the writer of the show, and presented several of his melodies. The team was particularly impressed with ‘Awargi,’ and Nikhil worked diligently to perfect the song, which features three antaras.

Given the mature nature of Karan Wahi’s character, the team sought a heroic voice to bring the song to life. Nikhil suggested a few names, and the team decided on Aditya Narayan. After sending a scratch version to Aditya’s mother, Deepa Narayan, Aditya himself reached out to confirm his participation.

Nikhil Kamath shared his experience, stating, “It was wonderful composing a song like ‘Awargi’ for ‘Raisinghani vs Raisinghani.’ The entire process, from understanding the characters’ journey to collaborating with the team, was incredibly fulfilling.”

Looking ahead, Nikhil Kamath is excited about his upcoming projects, including composing for a new feature film set to release later this year. Fans can look forward to more of his soulful melodies that continue to touch hearts and captivate audiences.
