MUSIC composer, producer, and pianist Siddharth Pandit is gearing up for the release of Bandish Bandits 2, which is all set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on December 13. Describing the project as a "labour of love," Siddharth shares the pressure he felt stepping into the shoes of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, who composed the music for the first season.

"The director of the series, Anand Tiwari, had heard some songs from my album Azaad Sangeet, which is my independent project. One of the tracks in Bandish Bandits season 2, 'Hichki,' is from my first album. The other single, 'Khamakha,' was in progress when Anand sir heard it. We adapted it for the show, making a new arrangement and composition that aligned with the script.
