The group remained inactive post Kuly's sudden demise in 2012. After that, Manj went on to pursue a solo career. Over the last couple of years, he has focused extensively on Bollywood music. His next composition will be out in Akshay Kumar-starrer Jolly LLB 2. Here, Manj discusses why RDB is history and what draws him to Bollywood.

Why does Bollywood interest you?
Making music for Hindi films gives you exposure and gets your music heard across the world.

Is it true that you are working on a single, Supermodel, with Kylie Jenner?
We are in talks. Our agents are discussing certain aspects, and based on that, we will soon know how things go.

Any other international collaboration in the pipeline?
I have a big song in a Hollywood movie coming up. It's a Punjabi number, and I'm roping in a mainstream artiste for that one, but I can't share details at this point.

You've composed a song, Go Pagal, for Jolly LLB 2. How was the experience?
I had a basic idea of the song before I started working on it. Akshay paaji came up with the idea of adding a Bhojpuri touch to the track. Working with him was amazing.

Do you plan to revive the RDB banner?
No, why would I? Kuly paaji and I created that sound. Without him, there can never be RDB again.

Which Bollywood musicians do you admire?
I respect Vishal-Shekhar. Armaan Malik is also doing some amazing work. And, my little bro, Badshah, is cleaning house in Bollywood.
