Mohit Suri's Saiyaara Introduces 2 Kashmiri Musicians To Bollywood
Last Updated: In addition to introducing new musicians, Saiyaara will also mark the acting debut of Ahaan Panday in the Hindi film industry. The title track of Yash Raj Films' upcoming romantic drama Saiyaara has finally been released. Dropped on Tuesday, June 3, the video is making waves, especially for spotlighting two new Kashmiri musicians. Faheem Abdullah, handpicked by director Mohit Suri, makes his singing debut alongside the film's music composer, Arslan Nizami. Faheem's soulful voice brings life to the title track, composed by Tanishk Bagchi in collaboration with Arslan. The lyrics are penned by Irshad Kamil. Faheem Abdullah shared his experience of working on the film as a Kashmiri singer. He said, 'It is an honour to represent Kashmir in the Hindi film industry with our musical debut in Saiyaara! Our state has beautiful people and incredible artists. I'm really happy that two Kashmiri boys have worked really hard to land this project of a lifetime and are trying to make a name for themselves in the Hindi film industry. We want to make our people back home proud of our work, and it is truly humbling to witness that my song is the first track to open the Saiyaara promotional campaign," as per a report by MoneyControl. He continued, 'It is quite an overwhelming moment for me, my family, my friends and my well-wishers. Saiyaara title track is one of the purest songs that I have ever heard and I have tried to pour my everything into it under the guidance of the genius Tanishk Bagchi and the music visionary Mohit Suri. I share this moment with my friend Arslan without whom the magic of Saiyaara couldn't come alive." Arslan, equally excited, shared, 'I wouldn't have believed if people told me a couple of years earlier that I will get a chance to compose a song for a big film in the Hindi film industry. So, there was no way that I was dreaming that I would get a chance to compose for Mohit Suri in his directorial! This is an incredible milestone moment for my career and I couldn't be happier, prouder. To have my song, which I have composed along with an exceptionally talented fellow Kashmiri artiste like Faheem and the incredible Tanishk Bagchi, lead the Saiyaara promotional campaign feels surreal." Speaking to IANS, director Mohit Suri, who is known for creating musical hits like Kalyug, Zeher, Woh Lamhe, Awarapan and Aashiqui 2 has revealed that the album of Saiyaara took nearly five years to curate. Mohit said, 'One thing that only a handful close friends know about me is that I love meeting new composers, singers, collecting melodies and songs much like people who love reading, collect books. So, the album of Saiyaara has my songs, thoughts and melodies that I have carefully collected and curated for over 5 years." He also spoke about the two Kashmiri musicians: 'Saiyaara title track will also see us launch Faheem Abdullah and Arslan Nizami, two extremely talented Indian composers and singers (from Kashmir) to Bollywood. The track has been composed by the genius Tanishk Bagchi, who I thank for making me meet Faheem & Arsalan. The beautiful lyrics are written by the maestro Irshad Kamil". In addition to introducing new musicians, Saiyaara will also mark the acting debut of Ahaan Panday in the Hindi film industry. He stars opposite Aneet Padda, who continues to win hearts with her standout performance in the acclaimed series Big Girls Don't Cry. The film is set for a worldwide theatrical release on July 18, 2025. First Published:
