Over the last decade, several Pakistani musicians, such as Atif Aslam, Shiraz Uppal and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, have carved out successful careers as playback singers in Bollywood. Now, it seems like their frequent work trips might have inspired their Indian counterparts too.

With the revival of Pakistan’s film industry, it was only a matter of time before international artists started showing an interest in collaborating with local talents.

And one of the few people to do so is Bhardwaj. The two-time Filmfare Award winner has collaborated with music composer Shani Arshad on a soundtrack of the romantic-drama Bin Roye.
