Dev's contrasting moods shown in songs in Buno Haans

Having portrayed contrasting moods of the male protagonist in 'Buno Hans' through the background sound score, music director Shantanu Moitra says he was not over-weighed by the superstardom of Dev.
"Being in Mumbai I could not follow Dev's masala hits. I was not bogged down by the thought if he would gel with our brand of film music and can move out of his zone of mainstream, masala music. And that worked in our favour since he could.
"And mind it, we had cast him befor Chader Pahar was released," Shantanu, who was planning to see Chander Pahar, told PTI over phone.

Dev's on-screen persona was one of the most intriguing characters in the film as it was possessed by passion, lust, anger, jealousy, joy and despondence in varying phases, various situations and during the pre-production storyboard process, me and Tony's brief was to develop the scenes integrating the situations with the music. Instead of the music only carrying forward the storyline, here music itself became part of the story, he said.
"For the same reason there was no such thing as creating the soundscape with Prosenjit Chatterjee in mind in Tony's (Aniruddha Roychoudhury's) previous film Aparajita Tumi," he reasoned.
Shantanu, the music director of 3 Idiots (2009), who had composed for 'Mann ke Manjeere' and 'Ab ke Saawan' numbers by Shubha Mudgal, said Buno Haans was not a musical per se, but music itself became a character in the flick.

Produced by Reliance Entertainment Buno Haansh also cast popular mainstream actor, having debuted in arthouse Goynar Baksho earlier, Srabonti.
