Siingh: I feel any time is right time to create anything on Panchamda. What made you think this is the right time to create a documentary on RD Burman? In short, the entire Pancham mystique which millions want to know today and which I could not cover of felt was too little in the film made a decade back.
And of course, the human side of him that millions want to know� the ups and downs, which we can examine and explore in detail. Along with these, hundreds of stories and anecdotes behind his compositions and experimentations. Then, in a structured and episodic way, we track Panchamda’s huge influence on corporate houses, the millennials and generations X,Y,Z� who pick his songs as their favourites even without much knowing who composed it or how they were done � the why’s and other areas give us a huge insight into what makes compositions and songs, timeless. It’s not that these big brands have any dearth of options. Their insights and internalizations, in addition to takes on mysterious elements like why an iPhone X launch or Heineken beer commercial use Pancham’s music almost as if it is the contemporary in-thing for everyone. Having known many of them, it’s impossible to come across anyone worth their contemporary name and stature, who is, in their own ways, in some way or the other, not charmed or influenced by Panchamda’s music. Siingh: The six part web-series will explore his huge influence and impact on today’s musicians who are at their peak creating their own music. This is one of the best ways to explore his huge and growing legacy and delight the world. Each passing year, one keeps discovering newer dimension of RD’s music� and I thought, about a year back, it’s just appropriate to give the Pancham crazy and Pancham hungry millions a longer version of many of the things I could not cover in the film version or could touch upon only briefly. In due course of time, with my constant growing understanding of Panchamda and his music, it would often occur to me that while doing the film, I was bound by many limitations of time and length, but there’s so much to explore, understand and share about his music.

Among the 350 plus screenings wherever I have been invited with the film, everyone invariably asked, what next are you doing on Panchamda. Siingh: About a decade ago, I had spent two-three years making “Pancham Unmixed: Mujhe Chalte Jaana Hai.”� and it became one of the most loved and treasured films of all time, with an almost cult success, you can say.

Tell us about the upcoming web series you are working on. IANSlife got in a conversation with Siingh to know more about the project, his love for music and the current scene of the Indian music industry.
Siingh is now working on a web series on RD Burman called “The Pancham Legacy”. Creative artists have become too dependent on technology Brahmanand Siingh
Burman, “Pancham Unmixed: Mujhe Chalte Jaana Hai”, adds that artists today “find it easy to approach things by trying to figure out what will work rather than expressing their inner creativity and making it work”. The writer, director who made a biopic on Late Jagjit Singh “Kaagaz Ki Kashti”, and a feature-length documentary on R. National award winning filmmaker Brahmanand Siingh feels “creative artists have become too dependent on technology”.
