During an interview with Komal Nahta Amit Trivedi revealed that Amit Trivedi had a dream run as a music composer early in his career. However Amit Trivedi got a reality check while working on Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu (2012) starring Imran Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan.
Amit Trivedi said “For Dev D Amit Trivedi made 18 songs and all of them got selected. The same happened with Aamir. There was a requirement of 5 songs. Amit Trivedi only composed 5 songs. They all got selected. This was repeated with Udaan (2010) well. Amit Trivedi began to assume ‘Wow. Aise hi hota hoga. This industry is amazing’ (laughs). Then Amit Trivedi got a shock of my life when Karan Johar came into my life. That’s also when mainstream Bollywood came into my life.”
Amit Trivedi explained “Amit Trivedi signed Shakun Batra’s film, Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu which was produced by Karan Johar. While working on the film Amit Trivedi asked himself ‘Yeh kya ho raha hai?’. This was completely contrary to Amit Trivedi’s experiences. Until then Amit Trivedi had worked in 5‑6 films including a song in Karan Johar’s Wake Up Sid (2009) that is ‘Iktara’. Woh gaana bhi one shot tha. Everything was smooth.
During Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu mere nakshatra badal gaye! Every song got bounced. If Shakun would like it Karan sir won’t like it and versa. Aur mujhe kuch samaj mein nahin aa raha tha!” Amit Trivedi revealed “At that time Amit Trivedi felt very vulnerable and sad. Amit Trivedi even cried. Amit Trivedi had self‑doubt. Amit Trivedi asked himself ‘Am I not good enough? Don’t I know how to make music?. Then how did I manage to work on so many films? Many of those songs were hits as well. So Amit Trivedi am not the problem. The problem is somewhere. Karan sir is also vastly experienced.” sir is also vastly experienced’.”
