Welcome to Cyrus Says!

In this episode, Cyrus is joined by Swanand Kirkire - writer, lyricist, singer, actor, National Award winner, and basically one of those people who seem to be good at everything.

They talk about his journey from Indore to NSD to Mumbai, the early struggle years, writing for film and theatre, working with people like Sudhir Mishra, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani, and how singing happened almost by accident.

There’s also a lot on acting, getting typecast as the father, his new OTT show Band Wale, and the strange, funny, unpredictable route his career has taken over the years.

And yes, Swanand also sings live in the episode, which is reason enough to watch.

It’s warm, funny, slightly chaotic, and full of stories you’ll want to stay for.

If you enjoy hearing creative people talk about the long road behind the work, this one’s for you.

This Cock & Bull episode turns into a full-blown father vs son situation as Mikhaail Broacha joins Cyrus and immediately starts challenging him on everything.

There’s gym arguments, random tech unboxing, unsolicited life advice, and just enough roasting to make this feel less like a podcast and more like something that should’ve stayed at home.

Cyrus tries to stay in control.
That doesn’t last very long!
