Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K. believed that music and songs play a key role in "uplifting the entertainment factor in a spy thriller series" and when comes to web series, "the scope of a soundtrack and score is considerably bigger than a feature film, and contrary to films, "the commercial side of the series takes a back seat and they may have a lot more songs and explore different genres".[ citation needed ] Being a fan of indie and Indian classical music, both Raj and DK approached composers, musicians and artists across the country and chose tracks and sounds of their album, as the duo believed that "it will go well with the story". The album for the two-season series, has a combination of classical and original numbers, which was positively received upon release. [1]
