BREAKING: Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif's Jagga Jasoos to have 29 songs!

Pritam Chakraborty is proud of his upcoming Jagga Jasoos and is most excited about the film. So much so, at a recent interaction with the Bollywood composer, he said as much. 

After his A&R (artist and repertoire) and incubation initiative JAM8, which he debuted with the recently released Raees, he’s doing something different with the soundtrack for JJ, which stars Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif.

The Anurag Basu film has been in the news for several reasons, but more so, for its rather rich soundtrack. “There are 29 songs in all,” says Pritam, finally putting a number to the much-speculated album. 

When pressed for the reason, apart from it being a musical — that part is known — he said, “You see, Ranbir Kapoor stutters throughout the film, the only time he doesn’t, is when he sings. And every time he expresses an emotion strongly, it’s through songs. Think of the effortlessness and the way the songs are featured in La La Land. They’re part of the story. And the narrative flows forward through it.”
