In a first, Atif Aslam and Arijit Singh to feature in a song together

Sounds like an epic collaboration

Calling all Atif Aslam and Arijit Singh fans!

Pakistani music's golden boy, Atif, has not only become of the most sought-after playback singers in Bollywood but is also collaborating with other industry big weights from India now. He's working with none other than the soulful Arijit Singh and boy is this one collaboration we desperately needed!



The duo has partnered for a song called Musafir for the movie, Sweetie Weds NRI. The song was composed by the young Palash Muchhal, who reached out to talent across the border..

Musafir has four versions in the film, one of which features Atif and Arijit. “It's a heart-touching and emotional track. I tried my best to bring out the 'dard' in the song,” said Atif, in an interview with Mid-day.

Asked why he thought of choosing Arijit and Atif, Palash shared, “They are both extremely talented musicians and my favourites, too. I have grown up listening to Atif and I love Arijit's voice. Both express pain and I needed that for Musafir.”



The composer added that when the singers heard the tune, they instantly agreed to recording it.

Ever since India's ban of Pakistani artists last year, Atif has reunited with Bollywood composers Sachin-Jigar for a song called Hoor from Saba Qamar's Bollywood debut Hindi Medium. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan also lent his voice to Aazaadiyan from the Vidya Balan-starrer Begum Jaan.

We can't wait to hear this version of the song!
