In X's words,
“The poem represents the voice of the river Brahmaputra
through the voice of the music maestro. Y’s is known for his
passion for the mighty river and is called the
'Bard of Brahmaputra'. So, when I needed someone to
represent the voice of the river in my film, I immediately
decided to approach Y. ... He was ailing and not well when I
approached him for recording the recitation for the film.
However, he agreed to lend his voice and we finally
recorded the recitation in February 2010.”
