We have made it in such a way so that the audience would be moved like there would be some emotions and nostalgia.
Making “Amma Pade Jola Pata” was a laborious process, much research and collaboration went into it. Yerram and Surender soaked themselves in folk traditions for months and experimented with nuances of music. “We wanted the song to retain its soul yet be very contemporary in feel. It needed a delicate balance, and we were lucky to have a great team that shared our vision,”
Surender talked about how real it had to be. “Every note, every lyric had to acknowledge the theme of motherhood. We drew from our own experiences and memories, which were brought into the song, making it special. Working with Janhavi was great because she was very serious as to how the authenticity of the music should be kept intact.”
To both artists, “Amma Pade Jola Pata” represents more than just a song; it reflects their journeys, individually undertaken and through family ties.
