Here's what Atif Aslam has been up to in India

Hint: it's a collaboration you never saw coming
18 Jul, 2016

A few days ago, Atif Aslam uploaded a picture on Instagram and had us playing the guessing game: what was the rockstar up to in Delhi?

Talking to Images, the 33-year-old musician shares, "I'm in India to record my music video; it's a collaboration with a big Swedish star, Maher Zain, whose team approached us after hearing my music and asked for suggestions in terms of producers/video directors from India."

"The track is titled 'Am Alive' and has a very spiritual feel to it; some of my favourite lyrics from the song are Teray ishq mein sharaboor hun. It's been composed by Dhruv Kanekar and we shot it in Delhi."

"I had an amazing time shooting in the rain at Jama Masjid and our young actor featured in the video, Justin is brilliant at what he does," adds the Coke Studio artist.

The former Jal member has made quite a mark in Bollywood by singing tracks like 'Woh Lamhey' from Zeher (2005), 'Tere Bin' from Bas Ek Pal (2006) and 'Tu Jaanay Na' from Ajab Prem Ki Ghazal Kahani (2010), all of which bagged him Filmfare nominations.

After a mini hiatus from the local industry, Atif made a comeback last year with three appearances in season eight of Coke Studio. He also lent his vocals for 'Tou Dil Karay' in Asim Raza's film Ho Mann Jahaan.

My favorite South Asian artist ever. Hopefully he stays in India forever. In Pakistan his premature death awaits (like the fate which befell the Great Sabri, RIP).
