Koco: Our goat was not named Shahrukh to strike relevance with Shahrukh Khan

The members of the famous Agnee band talk about their upcoming release – Yeh Hai Bakrapur, their take on the current political scenario in India, music and more:



When I began to pen down this interview with Agnee, one of the most profound bands on the Indian rock circuit, I couldn’t stop myself to bring down the coincidental connection the band now has with one of the hit shows once aired on MTV. Interestingly one of the most celebrated compositions of Agnee for MTV’s Splitsvilla was ‘Aahatein’ and the same channel hosted another hit show called the ‘MTV Bakra.’ Maybe the creators of Agnee, Mohan and Koco haven’t noticed this karmic connection with Bakra however their next Bollywood venture as music composers for Yeh Hai Bakrapur clearly highlights their unintentional connection with the animal.

The musical duo, Mohan and Koco formed Agnee back in 2006 and since then they haven’t looked back at all. They have gone on to make several albums and have worked on a few films; they now have donned the hat of a music composer for the soon to be released film, Yeh Hai Bakrapur. This film is a political satire and is set against the backdrop of rural India.

Mohan – Janaki Vishwanathan who’s made the film came to us last year with this project. By then the film was already made but there was no songs in it. She asked us if we would want to compose music for the film. We saw the movie and our instant reaction was ‘Wow’. The film has been made beautifully. The content of the film made us choose the project......
