A slate of cinematic outings in films like Wake Up Sid, Pataakha and Sui Dhaaga: Made in India behind him, Namit Das is set to explore his mastery in music composition with Mira Nair's A Suitable Boy. Son of noted ghazal singer Chandan Dass, Namit has inherited a love for music that will find an outlet for the first time, in the Ishaan Khatter starrer.

The actor, who also features in the series, has composed three tracks that will be used during pivotal moments of the series. Namit tells mid-day, "My association with Mira dates back to Monsoon Wedding, for which Vishal Bhardwaj had composed music. On a peripheral level, A Suitable Boy may seem like an acting project, but it's a musical. The interaction with the creators has been inspiring. [Mira and I] would discuss music often. Perhaps, that's why she thought I should try my hand at composing."
