Salman Khan Removes Atif Aslam’s Song From Notebook

NEW DELHI: The 53-year-old superstar has apparently removed one particular song sung by Mr Aslam from upcoming film Notebook.

Atif Aslam has sung for Salman Khan songs like Main Agar from Tubelight, Dil Diyan Gallan from Tiger Zinda Hai.

According to report, “Salman Khan has asked his production house Salman Khan Films to replace Atif Aslam song from Notebook.” If reports are to be believed, the timing coincides with that of top film body All Indian Cine Workers Association’s (AICWA) ban on collaboration with Pakistani artistes in the light of the dastardly Pulwama attack.

As per the report, no new singer has been roped in for Notebook and the track sung by Mr Aslam will reportedly be re-recorded in just a few days.

Produced by Salman Khan Films, Notebook will mark the Bollywood debuts of Mohnish Bahl’s daughter Pranutan and newcomer Zaheer Iqbal.

As per a statement released by the film’s makers, the team of Notebook will contribute Rs. 22 lakh to the families of the soldiers who were killed in the attack. Notebook was extensively shot in Kashmir in the months of October and November of last year.

Atif Aslam has playback credits for hit songs of Salman Khan such as Main Agar from Tubelight, Dil Diyan Gallan from Tiger Zinda Hai, Selfish from Race 3 and Tu Chahiye from Bajrangi Bhaijaan.

Atif Aslam’s recent single Baarishein, also featuring Nushrat Bharucha, has been taken down by T-Series from YouTube. Arko, who composed the song, spoke to news agency in a recent interview and said,

“I have nothing personal against Atif or any Pakistani talent for that matter because they are artistes like us. I have a problem and I have everything against the Pakistan government and its approach toward handling terrorism that is taking the lives of our people and army personnel.”
