Here Is About Nagabandham New Composer Everyone Is Talking About
Many people believed Junaid was from Mumbai because of his name, but he is actually from Hyderabad.
One of the biggest surprises from Nagabandham is the work of its music director, Junaid Kumar Chhetri. Even though the film did not feature top star heroes, it created huge buzz before its release because of its grand visuals, high production values, and technical quality. The movie was directed by producer-turned-director Abhishek Nama and featured Virat Karna in the lead role.
Made on a massive budget, Nagabandham impressed many viewers with its visuals, cinematography, visual effects, and background score. While opinions on the story were mixed, the technical departments received wide appreciation. Among them, Junaid's music became one of the biggest highlights.
Many people believed Junaid was from Mumbai because of his name, but he is actually from Hyderabad. His grandfather, Sajan Manwade, is well known for composing music for many Hindi commercial advertisements. Inspired by his grandfather, Junaid developed a love for music at a young age. As a teenager, he decided to build his career in music and learned to play different musical instruments before becoming a music programmer.
His talent caught the attention of music director Suresh Bobbili, who brought him into his team as a programmer. Junaid always admired veteran composer Mani Sharma and dreamed of working with him. That dream came true through Mahati Swara Sagar, Mani Sharma's son. Later, Junaid worked as a programmer on several successful films, including Virata Parvam, Karthikeya 2, iSmart Shankar, and Balagam. These projects helped him gain valuable experience in the film industry.
Around two years ago, Junaid received an unexpected chance to become a music director. While working with Mani Sharma, Abhishek Nama asked him to compose background music for a glimpse video. Without even asking which film it was, Junaid created the score. That project turned out to be Nagabandham. The powerful background score impressed the director so much that he selected Junaid as the film's music director.
Junaid made the most of this opportunity by delivering memorable songs and an impressive background score. The song "Namore" became popular among music lovers, while the action sequences, interval, and climax were elevated by his energetic score. His work showed the confidence and skill of an experienced composer. After the success of Nagabandham, Junaid Kumar Chhetri is now expected to receive many more exciting opportunities in the Telugu film industry.
