The director says it was KK who inspired him to shift to Mumbai. “KK was the first from our batch to move to the city and we would cite his example. He had started singing jingles by then. Then he became an accomplished singer and I was just two films old but his song ‘Hai Junoon’ from 'New York' became iconic. I still remember sitting with Pritam and how we recorded that song. It’s really heartbreaking to think of it now!”

Recalling their time at Delhi University the director adds, “He was part of the music group Blitzkrieg with Julius Packiam who still does the background score for my films. Not many know that KK and I were part of a dance group and won many competitions together. He would wear his trademark dark glasses even at night and we would tease him about it. I know its cliched to say ‘he was a good person’ when someone passes away but in this case it’s absolutely true! He was always smiling and such a gentle soul.”
