In bringing together musicians with starkly different sensibilities, Ankur Tewari says he has justified the “wider palette” that the music of Phone Bhoot demanded. “Some projects are better enhanced with single [composers], some require multiple artistes. The [amalgamation] makes things more interesting. 

Working on this film was like being part of a mad house. We wanted to go wild with the sound-scape, and mirror the emotions to recreate the joyous vibe that was evident in the script. We wanted to make music that would make people [groove],” says Tewari, who, as the music supervisor on the film, brought together artistes like Roy, Tanishk Bagchi, Rochak Kohli, Mikey McCleary, and Lisa Mishra.
