Development Before composing for Mirzapur, Bhasker worked in an advertising agency, who later quit his job to pursue his career as a full-time musician. On bagging the project, he stated in an online news portal that he got a random call from Abbas Khan, the show's head producer, who informed him to the music producer Ankur Tewari. The creative team wanted Bhaskar to pen few songs so that Ankur want to work on the soundtrack. The album had twelve songs compiled for both season one and two. It took him about a year to create all the songs in Mirzapur, however the time for the composition of the songs individually took a few months. He initially planned to release all the songs in March 2020, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, it took him more time for composition.
