Singing sensation Atif Aslam is making a much-anticipated comeback to Bollywood after a seven-year hiatus. He has lent his vocals to a romantic melody for the upcoming film 'Love Story of 90s', directed by Amit Kasaria and starring Adhyayan Suman and Divita Rai.
Aslam, known for his soulful renditions of hits like 'Dil Diyan Gallan' and 'Main Rang Sharbaton Ka', is sure to excite fans with his return. The producers, Haresh and Dharmesh Sangani, expressed their delight at having him on board, calling it a "moment of pride and joy."
In a statement, they said: "It was a challenge to bring Atif Aslam on board as he focused on the storyline and the ensemble of the cast. We disclosed all the particulars to him. He was really impressed and prepared to lend his voice to the film's song. It's a moment of pride and joy for us."
According to reports, securing Aslam's involvement wasn't easy, as he is known for his careful selection of projects. However, the film's storyline and ensemble cast reportedly impressed him enough to lend his voice to the soundtrack.
The song, a perfect match for the movie's romantic theme, promises to be a chart-topper in 2024, according to the producers. They further revealed plans to potentially collaborate with Aslam on another track for the film.
"It's a delightful pairing that he sings a romantic melody and the movie's title, 'LSO90's (Love Story of 90's), aligns beautifully. The song is a delight for the audience and is poised to be a hit in 2024. It's a harmonious blend of visuals, lyrics and music. He has only sung one song in the flick; but we are considering creating another track with him," mention the producers.
Fans have already taken to social media to express their excitement, calling Aslam's return the "King's rule again." The soundtrack also boasts contributions from other established singers like Udit Narayan, Amit Mishra, and Aman Trikhaji.
Atif Aslam's comeback in "Love Story of 90s" marks a much-awaited return for the beloved singer and promises to be a treat for his fans and Bollywood music enthusiasts alike.
Amid reports of his comeback, an old post is going viral where the singer criticises India for its decision to revoke Article 370 of the Indian Constitution. Reacting to these reports, Indian social media users recall his opposition; one comment reads, "We don't need #AtifAslam in Bharat."
