“It all happened very impromptu. I had asked Amitji to see the movie (Chup). After seeing it, he called me over and he played me a tune on his piano and said that’s what the movie and the characters made him feel. He was very touched. I was ecstatic. I asked him if I could use the tune and he immediately gifted it to the movie. Today ‘Chup’ is the first film that has got Amitji's official composition as the score for the credits,” Balki said in a statement on Sunday.
