Amit Trivedi revealed that the film Dev D was initially put on hold because Ronnie Screwvala was not keen on making it, and he recalled trembling before presenting his songs to Anurag Kashyap, fearing it could be his first and last film. He told Komal Nahta he had no plans to compose for films but had created independent music with singer Shilpa Rao, whose songs Anurag Kashyap heard, prompting him to meet Trivedi while Kashyap was working on Dev D (2009).
Why it matters

How this update was made
- Written by AI. The headline, summary, “why it matters” and key facts were written by an AI model from the 1 report under Evidence, and from nothing else.
- Checked by a program, not a person. Before it was published, every name, number and date in that text was matched against those reports. One that did not match would have thrown the whole summary away.
- Rules, not the AI, set the labels. “How sure we are” comes from who reported it and how many did. The importance score is a fixed formula over the kind of story and its sourcing; the kind of story is read from the headline by rules and by the AI.
- No one reviews it first. Updates are published as they arrive. If one is wrong, a person corrects or withdraws it at this address, and it says so.
