'Dunki', featuring Shah Rukh Khan, unfolds a heartwarming tale of four friends and their journey to foreign shores in pursuit of their dreams. The film depicts the challenging yet life-changing path they embark on and brings together disparate stories of love and friendship, providing both hilarious and heartbreaking moments.

The film has garnered immense love from audiences worldwide, with praise for its engaging story. However, one aspect that fans particularly adore is its music and background score. In an exclusive conversation with midday.com, music composer Aman Pant discussed his significant role in shaping the film's musical identity.

Aman while talking about the Rajkumar Hirani directorial, said, ‘It's good to be associated with films like Dunki'. He further shared insights into how he landed the opportunity to work on Rajkumar Hirani's directorial. "I was doing ads with sir, and I met him when he was producing an ad. Instantly, my vibe matched with his. During one such ad, he asked me to do the score for the film. Until his offer, I hadn't done any films; I had been doing ads for 15 years. So, I was obliged when he gave me the opportunity."

Reflecting on meeting Shah Rukh Khan, Aman added, "Whatever I have heard about him until now is all true. I have always heard that he is a humble person, and there is no show-off. He is the biggest star in India, but honestly, he doesn't have any attitude about that. He meets you with such warmth and provides so many valid points to enhance the music, which worked really well for the film."

Aman also shared his experience working on series like 'Guns and Gulaabs' and highlighted his approach to creating sounds that resonate with the director's world. "See, I won't call it difficult. My process is very natural. The music of 'Guns and Gulaabs' and 'Dunki' is quite different. The main thing is, as a composer, you need to understand the 'sur' and feel of the film; then things become easy. Directors create their world, and as a composer, you have to represent the sound of their world, so one needs to crack that."
