After successful hits like “Silsilay — The Early Days”, “Kaanch”, “Pal Bhar” and “Aurat Aur Mard”, former video jockey (VJ) and singer Tahir Aly Shah is back with a new song “Waadey”. But what makes “Waadey” interesting, is its 3D animated music video — the first of its kind in Pakistan.
It all started about a year back when animator and film-maker Malik Gillani, who has worked on many national and international projects like Bankay Mian Ki Qawali, Commander Safeguard, Dettol Warriors and most recently a Hollywood movie Mega Spider, uploaded a teaser of his short film Crumbled on YouTube and Facebook.
The short film attracted a lot of attention and eventually Shah and Gillani came together with the notion of doing something out of the box and hence, “Waadey” was created.

Thank you ET for bringing this awesome song into my attention..
@Almas FIDAI: Thank you Almas... Such projects are more of a risk to take as its so much time consuming and expensive medium, thats why there haven't been any music video made in such a way here in Pakistan... We just tried our bit to contribute whatever little we could... and coming from a natural and skilled artist like you, its really an honor :) Thanks..
Brilliant achievement! Congratulations to both the rising stars of Pakistan! The video is an amazing creation by Malik Gillani which has equally supported the melodious voice of Tahir Aly Shah. A truly proud moment for Aga Khani community :)
