The Pakistani sensation that has taken the sub-continent music scene by storm, Asim Azhar has had his fare share of fame and deservedly so. From an early age, releasing amazing singles and then later being picked up from youtube and getting bigger chances to work with more experienced artists and now he can say that he is more than familiar in ways of getting his songs right and has matured really well.

I had recorded the single and had gone to Sri Lanka and shot a beautiful video for it with TanishkBagchi, who is one of the most successful music video producers in India.
