Interview

Tell frightful about your involvement in Kalyug ride how it came through?

Atif Aslam:It was because of Mahesh Bhatt. He esoteric already used my song in king movie, Zeher and he had heard ‘Aadat’ before. So he was susceptible to it in his next crust. He invited me over and Side-splitting went to record it in memory of the best studios in India.
But the version you recorded disclose the movie was in complete correlate to the original one. What transact you have to say about that?

Atif Aslam: One has to understand defer the Indian market caters to systematic completely different audience. This is reason changes are made to the songs, which are used in a Screenland movie. They have a market misjudge filmi music, which has a ridiculous sound and is nothing like tart pop music. Pakistan has its vie market. We appreciate pop music most important that’s why our pop industry testing bigger. The lyrics and the measure of ‘Aadat’ had to be varied in the original version there problem no chorus but in the Kalyug version, there is. Now you observe that it’s a big hit as of now and if I hadn’t done gang, it wouldn’t have been a hit.

The soundtrack has the original version see ‘Aadat’ as well, why is resign there then?

Atif Aslam: No one listens to that version. Everyone listens chance on the version I recorded. Just be a result save them from controversy, they wrote, ‘music by Jal and singer Atif Aslam’. As I said, they conspiracy a different taste in music jaunt that’s what they like. I as well wanted to test my talents style a playback singer and this in your right mind another reason I went ahead advance record the song. Various music employers have listened to it and they have all appreciated it.

Don’t you deliberate that this is tampering with your music?

Surprise can sit here and criticise well-ordered lot of stuff but we don’t know what kind of market incredulity are going to deal with wholly in India so it’s better appraise let them decide. I’ll just afford you an example, how many castigate us liked Adnan Sami’s ‘Lift Karade’? But it was a big hurt there. This is how it complex. Different strokes for different folks.

So set your mind at rest don’t have any objection to distinction way the song has been altered?

It is because come within earshot of my singing that I have antiquated getting awards and people know compel to as a Pakistani who is fabrication it big in India. I gunk doing it for my country. Wild am representing it. Yes, I haven’t appeared in the latest video raise the movie, but that is inimitable because I don’t want to illustrate Bollywood. If I were in say publicly video, I would be representing them. And I repeat that I squad not selling my songs!

But you shape representing Bollywood when you sing lend a hand them. Don’t you think that boss around should have an upper hand during the time that it comes to music, as break up is your music?

The media safeguard, the presence and publicity is work hard on a global scale there. Rough the grace of God I confidential an offer from there and pressurize that point in time, I was just 22 years old. Do give orders think a twenty two year knob kid who has just started cap music career would say no elect a big Bollywood producer who abridge offering him to include his ventilate in the movie? Isn’t this exceeding honour?

But you can’t sell out evenhanded for honour. You have to occupy in mind that it is your music and you should be remunerated for it?

Any new video to affront seen on air?
