Yes..!!Shoaib Mansoor approached me and asked weather I can compose for his film I said yes I can compose for him then he called me to his office next morning I was very much excited.After fewdays I went to his studio where Atif aslam was also present then Aatif and I composed a song which Shoaib Mansoor liked very much.It was great pleasure to work with Atif after almost 6 year gap we had great chemistry at that time and still i felt the same level as far as music is concern,It feel nostalgic “Puraani Yaadein Taaza Hogaye”.Initially Shoaib Mansoor wanted to have couple of my original songs but the circumstances didnt allow me to have this honor.The major reason behind this is that Atif Aslam is acting in the movie so it would look better if he sing those song himself so i didnt want my album to get affected but still we didnt compromise what we composed for the movie.InshaAllah this song will be a big hit

Atif Aslam’s Official Statement:
ASALAM-O-ALAIKUM to all ma dear fans
Heard abt ppl talking abt mA new
song frm prince .. first ov all i would like u guys to
knw tht whenever a song is recorded for the playback
film in the studio , the singer only gets to sing on the
rough track (i.e the music is just used as a reference
which is certainly not the final track when it is being
recorded in the studio ). In addition to tht, only the
music director has the right to put in the music(i.e the
way film director and producer wants to) . so ppl if
there is any such version which is against ma religion is
offcourse and vill never be supported. Simple {Read More…}

Based on the news (read: rumors) from couple of sources, Atif Aslam won’t be singing any of the songs for his debut film “Bol“. Since, Atif had extremely ridiculous voice Shoaib Mansoor thought that Ali Khan should sing for him and Atif should lip-sync that?
I have no doubts about Shoman’s talent as a film maker but this sounds very ridiculous to me. First it was in Khuda Ke Liye when Fawad khan (the lead vocalist of EP) lip-synced over the song by Ahmed Jehanzeb and Shuja Haider and now we have Atif Aslam (the top pop star) lip-syncing Ali K.

The news sounded shocking (read: hilarious) when I first found out, considering the current state of Pakistani filming in general but Atif Aslam has taken a step ahead in Pakistani film industry to act as a doctor. However, since the film is directed by Shoaib Mansoor, this is not as hilarious as it sounded
Atif says
Admitting that we don’t have much hits on our credits on the big screen would not be a shame but certainly we can improve it . To explore ma talent and the ability to act is the primary reason for me to convince my friends family n myself but not to be in the news certainly. Working with the best and the most senior director of the film industry MR . SHOAIB MANSOOR gives me the opportunity to give you guys ma debut film . I started ma singing career from PAKISTAN and ATIF ASLAM was made by PAKISTAN . I had alot ov offers to work with the BHATT’S , the RAJ’S starring the premium class but certainly wanted to begin from the house and didn’t want to become a choclate hero. Therefore undisputedly ATIF ASLAM was meant to start his filming career frOm PAKISTAN . Here I am “ATIF ASLAM” casted in a FILM named “BOL” as a middle class low profile doctor

Director Hammad Khan says filming in Islamabad is now very difficult because of heightened security measures
Islamabad is the setting for British director Hammad Khan’s first film Slackistan, a low budget independent feature looking at Pakistan’s young and privileged as they drift around in a world of dating, drinking and parties despite the terror attacks on their city.
“On a personal trip to the country I realised this was a story right under our noses to tell about young people out there,” says Khan.
Khan’s wife Shandana Ayub, from north London, has co-written and produced the movie.
“For someone who doesn’t know Pakistan at all, the images they’ll see on TV is of bombs and bad people – but that’s not the kind of Pakistan we know,” she says. {Read More…}
