Music Director of ‘Arjan Vailly’ from Animal & Shiddat Reveals Industry Secrets | UT EP139

Guest Suggestion Form: https://forms.gle/K3dkhJGhMog8nAYXA Join us for Episode 139 of Unfolding Talents featuring Manan Bhardwaj, a name that has redefined the sound of emotion in today’s music. The man behind masterpieces like Arjan Vailly and Kashmir from Animal, Shiddat's Title Track, Chitta and amazing tracks from Nishaanchi, he’s not just a composer; he’s a storyteller whose melodies speak directly to the soul. In this candid and deeply personal conversation, Manan opens up about his creative process, his struggles, and the stories that shaped his most iconic songs. From how Shiddat was born out of raw emotion, to the moment he “cracked” Kashmir and created one of Animal’s most hauntingly beautiful tracks, every story reveals a layer of the artist that the world rarely sees. He talks about the creation of Arjan Vailly, a song that became a war cry for an entire generation, and how Bhaga Bhaga Ke Marege and Soja from Nishaanchi carry pieces of his soul within them. Every track, he says, is a reflection of an emotion he’s lived through, love, loss, madness, or hope. But this conversation goes far beyond music. It’s about the man behind the melodies, the one who once carried a piano home on foot, who drove across the city to meet Anurag Kashyap only to never actually meet him, and who still chooses to stay away from Mumbai because he believes creativity thrives in solitude.b This is not just a story of a composer, it’s the journey of an artist who feels deeply, lives authentically, and creates fearlessly. From heartbreak to humor, from late-night melodies to moments of madness, this is Manan Bhardwaj, unfiltered. This is a conversation for everyone who believes music is not made, it’s felt.
