But now, ironically enough, it has been confirmed that Ali Hamza – one half of Noori – will be taking on the big task. Alongside Hamza, veteran musician Zohaib Kazi will produce the music for Coke Studio Season 11, confirmed Coke Studio in a Facebook post.

A source revealed to The Express Tribune, "Hamza will be producing the Coke Studio now. Ali Noor is busy with some of his own projects and will not be able to give time to Coke Studio but Hamza will be taking care of business."
So, needless to say that the rumours were just rumours after all. Last year, fans of the musical platform took to Twitter, asking Noori to take over after Strings confirmed their exit from the show. There was ample excitement at the possibility and word spread quickly. In 2016, a source close to Coke Studio even suggested that it will be Noori that takes over from Strings.

But when asked about this, Noori's manager denied the rumours. “The rumours are false. Noor and Hamza are not involved in producing Coke Studio 11 as of yet,” he had said back then. The two artists, however, were not available to comment.
Shortly after the completion season 10, Strings broke the news that they would be bidding farewell to Coke Studio and how it has enriched them in ways unimaginable.
“Coke Studio Season 10 will be the last season produced by Strings. It has been a fantastic journey for us over the course of four seasons and we are grateful to have had the opportunity to learn and share our work with all of you,” read a statement by the Dhaani hitmakers. “2018 will mark 30 years of Strings and we are super excited to celebrate with all of you. So stay tuned for more updates as we embark on yet another exciting chapter in our musical journey!”

Strings themselves took the reins from Coke Studio veteran Rohail Hyatt. They made their big debut with the seventh season back in 2014 and produced the next four consecutive seasons. The pop-rock duo now promise to return with more masterpieces as they embark on yet another exciting chapter in their musical journey.
