Director and Producer Goldie Behl shared, “I am very excited about REJCTX and we are hoping it will throw light upon the fact, on how teens are not necessarily clueless or reckless today. We have showcased Indian kids as global kids the way it is today. Music is a very important aspect of the show and Sneha (Khanwalkar) has delivered some wonderful tracks which has a whole range of composition, singing and melody. It is for the first time a series has a complete original soundtrack with more than 12 songs. Music is the backbone to the narrative in REJCTX and audiences will now understand different aspects of Sneha’s music through this album. I am excited for the series to release on ZEE5.”
Talking about her experience Sneha Kanwalkar shares, “ Goldie and I have been in conversation for many years to collaborate and when he reached out and shared the story of REJCTX I immediately agreed. It has been a fantastic experience working with him. It is a interesting script which has music woven. Each track renders itself to the situation. I hope the audiences enjoy it on ZEE5 as much as we enjoyed making it.”
Sharing his excitement Masi Wali said, “We have been practicing for days to ensure the performance today is on point. I am ecstatic that it turned out well. We are all nervous and hopeful that REJCTX will be enjoyed by the millennials across on ZEE5.”
