Given that it marks the amalgamation of story-telling techniques and live music, a musical, Dadlani says, is a powerful medium to express emotions. “Sheykhar and I usually get to head on [tours], but we never get to perform the same set on the same stage, over and over again. This experience provided that. We had people coming back to watch it [twice over]. It was challenging, but was one of the best experiences of our lives.”

Dadlani’s recent work is an upcoming track from Amazon Prime’s Farzi, and one that brings him under the familiar wings of composer duo Sachin-Jigar. “They are friends. When they call me for a song, I don’t even ask them about it, I simply show up. By now, they know my range, texture, and the things that I like to do [as a singer],” says Dadlani, who rendered Paisa hai toh, along with Mellow D for Shahid Kapoor’s project.

We would assume that his success as a composer would influence his renditions while working for other composers, in the capacity of a singer. But Dadlani disagrees. He adheres to one principle — “I come in knowing nothing,” he says. “I only bring my heart. I treat each song as an opportunity to learn something. When a composer calls me, he/she is giving me a chance to improve myself as a musician. You have to put your faith in the composer, because the composer chooses your voice as the instrument for the song.”
