Has Atif Aslam's latest music video been shelved due to Pak-India tensions?
Atif Aslam has shot a music video in Turkey with Bollywood actress Ileana D’Cruz, but it's unlikely to see the light of day any time soon.
According to a publication, the music video has been produced by Indian music label T Series, which is reluctant to release the video due to the ongoing tensions between Pakistan and India.
Says a source, “Since it features a Pakistani artiste, there is no way it can be released in the present circumstances. The producers have no option but to let it remain in cold storage. They are hoping things will change in the future when they can take a call.”
Vinod Bhanushali of T-Series, who oversees music acquisition for the production house, says, “There is no plan to release a music video as of now. Before the release of any single, we always have a plan in place. Right now, nothing is concrete.”
The video has been directed and choreographed by Bollywood choreographer Ahmed Khan (of 'Afghan Jalebi' fame) and was filmed in the ruins of the ancient city of Ephesus, the most visited archaeological site in Turkey.
