Akshay Varma's Interesting Rendezvous With 'Interstellar & The Dark Knight Trilogy' Composer Hans Zimmer!

Popular music composer Akshay Varma, who taught Ayushmann Khurrana to play piano effortlessly in the highly critically-acclaimed movie Andhadhun, had an interesting fan-boy moment with Hollywood legendary composer Zans Himmer of Interstellar and The Dark Knight trilogy fame.

Akshay got an opportunity to meet the legendary composer Hans Zimmer. Akshay says, "He (Hans) was scoring Interstellar at the time. It was quite a surreal experience, sitting in his studio and interacting with him. He gave us a tour of his studio and took us through all the synths, equipments, and setup. One of the things he said that was particularly inspiring was that he always tries to go beyond the director’s imagination. As a composer, you get a brief from the director. However, it’s your job as a composer, to give him which goes far beyond what he can conceive.

"Hans also talked about how you need to create your own sounds and pallet for every individual project. For example, on his score for RUSH, which is based on the rivalry of two formula one drivers in 1970s, he used a lot of synths from that era to create a believable sound world that is in sync with the film," Akshay adds.

Akshay's latest music video, Chadha Rang with singer Sona Mohapatra has been hugely appreciated by the music buffs and has garnered a massive number of hits on YouTube, taking the internet by storm.
