Saieen Zahoor lends voice to Bhaag Milkha Bhaag director's next

Saieen Zahoor's vocals create the haunting aural backdrop of Mirzya's first trailer

19 Dec, 2015

Known for hit films like Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and Rang De Basanti, Bollywood director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is now dramatising the tragic Punjabi folk tale of Mirza – Sahibaan in Mirzya, for which he has roped in Pakistani Sufi singer Saieen Zahoor for a song in the soundtrack.

Saieen Zahoor's vocals create the haunting aural backdrop of the film's first trailer:

The trailer offers only a glimpse of the main cast, namely Anil Kapoor's son Harshvardhan Kapoor, who plays Mirza, and Saimiyi Kher who plays Sahibaan. Both actors are making their Bollywood debut in the film.

The soundtrack of the film has been composed by the Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy trio and promises to be different as the entire film's script has been written in verse, poetry and song, reports Firstpost.

Saieen Zahoor's music has previously been used in Shoaib Mansoor's Khuda Ke Liye and British comedy-drama West is West.

Great to see Punjabi folklore and Punjabiyat is being taken up by the new generation of Punjabis.

Wonder why India is always coming after Pakistani artists? Proof enough that India is seriously facing a plague of talent and hence are becoming more and more dependent on variation and creativity of Pakistani artist. But just to feel good, they'll blame Pakistani artist for being money hungry again and again, unfortunately. Wake up and smell the coffee.

@Valar Morgulis Well, if the talent is available anywhere in the world & India just picks it up, no harm in it. In fact the action should be appreciated. I myself didn't know about this singer until I read this article. So there. Smell & Drink the coffee too, to appreciate it.
