All praise for Amit says Anurag Kashyap, “Amit always gives me time, has patience with me, bears with my circumstances and really gives everything to his music. It’s been 15 years of friendship and collaboration.Amit and Shellee spent 4 years working on the music because it’s a very different world to belong to lyrically. It was hardwork as Shellee had to let go of the poet in him and sat with his son and my daughter to use the lingo of today's generation.”
