‘Delhi Crime’ Composer Ceiri Torjussen Confirms Reuniting With Tanuj Chopra For A Feature Film: “It’s A Really Exciting Project” (EXCLUSIVE)
It was recently that Variety India broke the news that Tanuj Chopra, of Delhi Crime fame, has been quietly shaping not one but two intriguing projects. One is an adaptation series based on the Indian literary classic Devdas for an American audience, titled Sugar Land. The other is a genre-bending sci-fi feature set in an underground tunnel with an alien element, starring Tillotama Shome, titled Tunnel. Now, we have learned that Chopra is also reuniting with his Delhi Crime composer, Ceiri Torjussen, most likely for the latter.
We recently spoke to Ceiri Torjussen about his experience working on the acclaimed Indian series starring Shefali Shah, Rasika Dugal and Rajesh Tailang. When asked about his upcoming projects, Torjussen confirmed that he is collaborating again with Tanuj Chopra on a feature film. “I’m currently completing my score for a feature film made by Tanuj Chopra – the director of Delhi Crime. It’s a really exciting project but I’m afraid that’s all I can divulge right now,” he said.

While he did not reveal the name of the project, the only feature film Chopra is currently working on is Tunnel. Speaking further about what lies ahead, Torjussen added, “In the spring of 2026 I’ll be scoring another sports documentary, with another filmmaker I’ve worked with several times in the past. It’s an amazing story, but again, that’s all I can reveal I’m afraid. I also have some concert works of mine performed in February by the Orchestra National de Bretagne, in France. It’ll be really nice to hear a live orchestra playing my works after so many months of writing electronic music in the studio for Delhi Crime.”
Torjussen also reflected on the audience response to his work on Delhi Crime. “I’ve been really floored by peoples’ response to the show and to my music. I’ve had fans from everywhere, but especially Indian (or Indian diasporan) fans comment on my work and say how much they like what I did in the show. This is incredibly gratifying.”
In the same interview, Torjussen spoke about his favourite Indian film score, naming A.R. Rahman’s Bombay as a personal favourite. “I visited India back in 1995 for seven months. I was teaching at a school in Shimla and then traveled across the country for two months. Mani Ratnam’s film Bombay had just come out. I remember hearing A.R. Rahman’s wonderful theme song from that film, which played perpetually from car radios and shop windows. I thought that the film and songs were wonderful.”
