"I'm just a terrible multitasker, I think. Like, if I'm doing three films a year, it is difficult for me to cut singles. Because that requires time. More than that, it is just emotional and mental detachment from your films. And doing music, creating something great, and jamming - it requires a lot of time. Now I think I won't be doing more than two films a year, and we will be doing at least two to three film songs in a year," explained Ayushmann in his chat with Pinkvilla. "I was thinking that my music is taking a back seat. And that is like soul food for me. So, I think music should be there, now," he concluded.
