Production

In August 2020, A. R. Rahman was initially approached to compose music for the film. However, Rahman did not sign the film,[3] and was replaced by Mickey J. Meyer.[4] In February 2023, Dutt stated in an interview that Santhosh Narayanan replaced Meyer as the composer of the film.[5] [6] Narayanan recorded the background score by February 2024. The recording of songs took place at the Future Tense Studios in Chennai.[7]

In March 2024, a romantic dance track ("Ta Takkara") featuring Prabhas and Disha Patani was filmed in Italy's Royal Palace of Caserta.[8] [9] The choreography of the songs was done by Pony Verma.[10]

In an interview with The Hindu, Narayanan revealed that Nag Ashwin hired him as the music director because he loved the album Cuckoo which was composed by Narayanan back in 2014. Narayanan also stated that he wanted to add tunes of eighties and nineties in the album and said that the album is an ode and tribute to various artists including A. R. Rahman, Ilaiyaraaja, M. S. Viswanathan, S. S. Rajamouli and M. M. Keeravani. Further he stated that the film is set in the future where the remaining people are a mix of languages, cultures and communities. "I wanted to bring that to the album and the score". "Kalki’s album is my ode to the multicultural identity of India.”[11]
