Set to release this week, Parineeti Chopra’s Code Name: Tiranga sees her as an R&AW agent who travels across several countries as a spy. With a patriotic narrative forming the crux of the film, composer Vipin Patwa was tasked with creating songs that amplify the protagonist’s emotions.

“One of the two songs that I have composed is Vande Mataram. The makers called me in September to create a new iteration of the song. It took us six days to crack this version since we had to make it apt for each situation, given that the film had already been shot before we got to work on this one. This is a tribute to my motherland, and a way to show my love for my country,” says Patwa, who roped in Shankar Mahadevan for the offering.
