In conversation with, Imtiaz Ali, Mohit Chauhan and Irshad Kamil for Netflix he said, “When I built my studio, I didn’t have money to buy an amplifier or equalizer. There was just an AC with a shelf and carpet. I used to be sitting there not having money to buy anything. I built this and was sitting inside with no equipment."
