There
are
three
things
you
always
expect
now-a-days
from
any
Vishesh
Films
-
unusual
storyline,
their
passion
for
music
and
some
sort
of
Pakistani
connection.
Yes,
you
heard
it
right.
The
'Bhatts'
welcome
with
open
arms
their
second
musical
discovery
after
Atif
Aslam.
In
his
20's,
his
songs
'Toh
Phir
Aao'&'Tera
Mera
Rishta'
from
Awarapan
are
climbing
up
the
charts
at
a
lightning
pace.
So
what
are
you
waiting
for?
Dim
the
lights,
recline
the
sofa,
lay
back,
close
your
eyes,
press
play,
and
prepare
to
be
transported
into
another
realm
by
the
extra
talented
Mustafa
Zahid,
who
speaks
exclusively
from
Pakistan
with
us...
After
Atif
Aslam,
how
does
it
feel
to
be
Mahesh
Bhatt
and
Mohit
Suri's
next
Pakistani
discovery
for
Awarapan?
Well,
it's
a
proud
moment
for
me
because
a
lot
of
youngsters
from
our
lot
are
going
across
the
border
and
getting
so
much
recognition.
Thanks
to
my
friend
Atif
who
started
this
trend.
How
were
you
offered
Awararpan?
Our
Indian
manager
Sajid
took
a
demo
copy
of
my
album
which
was
released
in
Pakistan
called
Roxen
to
Mr.
Bhatt.
Immediately
after
hearing
the
track
'Toh
Phir
Aao'
he
called
me
in
Pakistan
and
told
me
to
come
to
India.
After
reaching
India,
we
sat
and
listened
to
my
band's
album
Roxen,
and
that
was
a
point
when
Mr.
Bhatt
also
decided
to
take
the
track
'Tera
Mera
Rishta'.
Which
is
your
personal
favourite
-
Toh
Phir
Aao
or
Tera
Mera
Rishta?
Actually
both
are
my
babies,
so
I
cannot
pick
up
one.
But
these
days
on
my
play
list
I
have
Tera
Mera
Rishta.
What
is
your
opinion
about
this
entire
fusion
of
Pakistani
music
into
Bollywood?
It's
great.
We
have
to
excel
at
the
end
of
the
day
and
we
cannot
just
limit
ourselves
to
Pakistan.
There
is
so
much
scope
for
music
in
India
and
at
the
international
level
that
we
have
to
go
out
and
explore.
It's
a
very
good
fusion
between
the
Indian
and
Pakistani
artists
and
now
things
have
shaped
up
so
well
because
of
the
Bhatt
camp
bringing
out
people
from
their
neighboring
country.
I'm
really
happy
that
the
change
is
happening.
What
do
you
have
to
say
about
the
laser
show
of
your
song
'Toh
Phir
Aao' in
Hong
Kong?
Have
you
seen
it?
Yes,
I
have
seen
it
and
it
looks
fabulous.
'Toh
Phir
Aao'
is
a
track
which
people
will
never
get
enough
of.
I
mean,
it's
released
in
Pakistan
since
three
years
and
even
today
when
we
go
to
concerts,
audiences
are
dying
to
listen
to
that
song,
they
shout
and
scream
to
such
an
extent
that
we
sometimes
have
to
repeat
the
track.
In
short,
it's
a
forever
track.
The
two
big
banners
in
Indian
cinema
who
produce
excellent
music
are
Vishesh
Films
and
Yash
Raj
Films.
Do
you
see
yourself
working
with
the
latter?
I
won't
restrict
myself
to
anyone
in
particular.
I
love
the
fact
that
I
have
made
my
debut
through
Mr.
Bhatt.
They
are
the
ones
who
have
found
out
my
hidden
talent.
I
would
love
to
work
in
every
movie
of
theirs
in
the
future
because
the
kind
of
comfort,
attitude
and
energy
they
have
is
unbelievable.
That
does
not
mean
that
I
won't
work
with
anybody
else.
As
far
as
I
get
to
work
in
a
comfortable
atmosphere,
I
will
be
ready
to
take
up
the
offer.
Have
you
been
approached
by
any
producers?
Yes.
I
have
been
approached
by
a
lot
of
labels
and
some
producers
after
the
success
of
both
my
tracks
from
Awarapan.
I
am
now
very
choosy
about
my
next
project
and
will
take
my
time
to
decide
which
film
or
record
label
to
sign
next
after
the
release
of
Awarapan.
