Pakistani
rock
band
Junoon
made
a
grand
entry
in
the
Indian
market
way
back
in
1998
and
paved
the
way
for
other
Pakistani
bands
to
India.
In
2004,
the
lead
singer
of
Junoon
Ali
Azmat
went
solo,
singing
for
Pooja
Bhatt's
Paap.
Now,
Shafqat
Amanat
Ali,
the
lead
singer
of
another
band
called
Fuzon
will
mark
his
debut
in
Bollywood
soon
with
Karan
Johar's
Kabhi
Alvida
Na
Kehna.
Talking about his first big Bollywood assignment, Shafqat said that he was always a big fan of Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's music and had also met Ehsaan a few years back. They recently gave him an offer to sing for KANK which he accepted immediately. However he adds that he is very much with the band and will continue to sing for Fuzon.
Fuzon is mainly known for the classical elements in its musical compositions and Hindi films known for its popular music is distinct from it in a way. Shafqat, however, says that he didn't want to restrict himself and is therefore trying his hand in films. Besides, he feels it is always challenging to sing for another composer. He adds that singing for films involves a different process because the songs are based on the situations in film and involves the director's perspective as well.
The song he is going to sing for KANK is called 'Mitwa'; however he didn't reveal much about the song. Besides this, his band Fuzon, is also working on their next album which will come out this year.
