Do you want me to write a song for it?” That was lyricist-singer Swanand Kirkire’s reaction when director Avinash Arun offered him Three of Us. His response was natural since acting offers don’t come too often to him —this, even though he won a National Award for his performance in Chumbak (2017). “Acting has never been my bread and butter. But I loved the script of Three of Us. When Avinash said he wanted me to play the husband’s role, I was happy because that’s the character I love the most,” says Kirkire.
