Jasleen Royal and Taapsee Pannu

Jasleen Royal has rendered a cover of Amit Trivedi's composition Daryaa from Manmarziyaan (2018). Though the singer has been winning praise for the track from Anurag Kashyap's romantic drama, she was overjoyed when the film's lead actor Taapsee Pannu told her, "Uff... Jasleen, I am a fan. Waiting to hear more from you (sic)." Says Royal, "It's one of my favourite Amit Trivedi creations and a film that I loved. I had to do a cover. Getting acknowledged by Taapsee was a great feeling. I am a fan of her work for the kind of roles she chooses. Her warm response made my day." There is quite the mutual admiration society going on.
