Given that the original film on which Looop Lapeta is based is almost two decades old, music composers Rahul Pais and Nariman Khambata of The Jamroom knew that they would have the opportunity to use their sensibilities, without the fear of comparison. “Run Lola Run was a cult film but, musically, this version needed to be fresh. We took a few influences but we knew we wanted to do what we wanted with this one,” says Pias of the Taapsee Pannu and Tahir Raj Bhasin project that releases next month. 

“We were given a brief, but it was open-ended. At the onset, no one had [a clear picture] of how this should sound. Things worked out only as we went about working on it. The process was a little difficult because we started scoring this film just before the second lockdown. So, recording sessions were taking place from different places.”
