KARACHI:
Singer-actor Ali Haider is set to release his album Koi Aisi Baat on Valentine’s Day, reported Roznama Express. The title song of the album has been posted on Ali’s Facebook fan page. The album’s soundtrack also features a World Cup anthem, which is dedicated to the Pakistani cricket team.
Ali shared that Koi Aisi Baat is a 10-track album, which will be an interesting addition to the current music scene in Pakistan. Prior to this, he had released a Sufi album in Mumbai, which featured the works of Bulleh Shah, Habib Jalib and Josh Malihabadi.
Haider is among the few musicians from the 1990s, who garnered a massive fan-following not only in Pakistan but also in India. Several of his songs, such as Purani Jeans, Chand Sa Mukhra and Zaalim Nazaron Se, have become classics in the realm of pop music.
Ali was recently in the news for being offered an integral part in a Hollywood film. He said he has gone through the script but has yet to sign the project. If Haider commits to the project, this would not be the first time he would be appearing on the screen, as he has previously acted in movies, such as Chalo Ishq Larain and television drama Chand Sa Mukhra. He has acted opposite actors such as Meera and Zara Sheikh.
