Whatever money I've made is by music: Drono

Composer Drono Acharya, who has scored music for TMC���������s audiovisual campaign, has now booked an artwork by Mamata Banerjee
After having scored music for TMC���������s audiovisual campaign, composer Drono Acharya has now gone ahead and shown interest in all things arty. On Monday, he booked an artwork by Mamata Banerjee for a sum of 2 lakh and hasn���������t stopped beaming ever since.
Ask him what made him go for ���������Maa��������� , as the artwork is titled, and he says, ���������That I possess a painting by the future CM gave me a high.��������� So, first the jingles and now the artwork, does that bring his political alignment to the fore? ���������It doesn���������t matter even if it does. I support her cause like many in Bengal. But just because I���������ve bought the artwork doesn���������t make me a TMC sympathizer,��������� he shoots back.
Singing paens to the Railway Minister, Drono adds, ���������For somebody as busy as Mamata Banerjee, it���������s very difficult to find time out for pursuing other interests. It surprises me the way she does the balancing act.��������� About the artwork, Drono says what is important is the ability to convey on canvas what the firebrand politico feels.
But doesn���������t the gesture tantamount to the expectation of getting more work, now that he has done TMC���������s jingles? ���������Not at all. Whatever money I���������ve made is through music. What kind of work can a political party provide me with? At the end of the day, my music speaks a thousand words. If Jeet Gannguli doesn���������t give a hit in the next five movies, no one will remember his past works and give him a second chance. It���������s the same with me.���������
Drono, who���������s all set to buy a new apartment, says the artwork will adorn the prime space on one of the walls of his drawing room. ���������I appreciate the work for what it is,��������� he says. That���������s called art for art sake and we���������ll leave it at that.
