It is for the first time a series has a complete original soundtrack with more than 12 songs. Music is the backbone to the narrative in REJCTX and audiences will now understand different aspects of Sneha’s music through this album. I am excited for the series to release on ZEE5.”

I hope the audiences enjoy it on ZEE5 as much as we enjoyed making it.”
