Reacting to Halitha’s tweet, several people expressed their excitement over Khatija’s new avatar. One Twitter user wrote, “How exciting!!! I love Khatija's singing and now we get to hear her composing new music too!! Fantastic! All the best Khatija and team!! Also waiting for her independent tribute project "Kuhu Kuhu" (sic).” Another wrote: “Wow ! That’s a sweet surprise! Godspeed (sic).”
In an recent interview with Times of India, Khatija revealed she wasn’t sure about turning composer till last year. “Last year, I was figuring out what I wanted to do. Also, I was singing and doing so many things at that point. I felt there was too much on my plate.
But later, there was another project - also by a female director that came to me. So, I called Halitha ma’am and told her things had changed, and asked if she still wanted me. I played her my independent track. After hearing that, she said, ‘This is exactly my vibe. I like your voice. I like your thinking. So, I want to work with you. I feel you can add value to the film.’ We decided to give it a try and take it forward,” Khatija said.
