The exhibition will also feature an exclusive music video shot during the making of the book, composed by Taufiq Qureshi. "To ensure that the emotions portrayed in the stills were genuine, we were literally enacting the sequences. That's why I decided we should also have a video shot. I got two students from FTII to shoot some candid, behind-the-scenes footage," explains Bikram.
