But is composing songs for the digital space different from creating music for films? “When it comes to the quality and variety of music, OTT is no less than films. But I feel, music is promoted much more in films; OTT is somehow lacking in that field,” says Bora, who considers the album of Tripling: Season 2 his favourite: “It gave me a chance to experiment and express my versatility. Till date, people listen to the songs and love them.”

Meanwhile, Bora’s song Shabaash from Jaadugar was played for the Indian athletes at the recently concluded Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games to motivate the players. How did that feel like? “I was surprised and felt so honoured,” Bora ends.
