Amit Trivedi says he ate ‘sattvik bhojan’ while working on Jubilee’s album: ‘I transported myself to that era’

Amit Trivedi, who composed the music for Amazon Prime Video series Jubilee and the 2022 film Qala, recently shared that he composed the music for both these movies at the same time. Amit shared that Jubilee was the biggest album of his career with 12 songs spread across 10 episodes. He added that since both Qala and Jubilee are set during the same era, he transported himself to the era “in every possible way”.

Amit shared with Rajshri Unplugged, “We were in Goa. Qala and Jubilee happened at the same time.” He shared that he was in Goa with Anvitaa Dutt, Vikramaditya Motwane, Kausar Munir and Swanand Kirkire when he worked on both these albums. “I said I am going to this world of 1940s and 1950s. I am going to transport myself and I literally did that in every which way. It was all sattvik bhojan. I used to wake up in the morning, do yoga. While doing yoga, all the 1940s-1950s songs used to play. It used to be amazing,” he shared.

Amit Trivedi said that the “hangover of the era” lasted for a while after he finished the two albums. But, Amit underlined that even though both these albums are from the same era, they carried a different sensibility. Talking about the difference between the two albums, he said, “Of course, it’s a different soundtrack because it’s for a different film, different sensibility which is Anvitaa Dutt and Vikramaditya Motwane’s. But world being in a way the same because we are dealing with 1940s-1950s era and the music. When you talk about film music, the palette is the same.”

He added, “Qala was more character driven but Jubilee is more era driven because it’s talking about the film industry, about the actors, actresses. Jubilee is about all that.”

Jubilee is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
