Atif can bring out emotional depth of songs: Sudhir Mishra
Mumbai

Director Sudhir Mishra believes Pakistani star Atif Aslam,
like other "great singers", has the capacity to bring out the emotional depth of
a song.
Atif has sung the track "Sehmi hai dhadkan" for Mishra's Hindi
film "Daas Dev".
"Like all great singers, he (Atif) has the capacity to
bring out the emotional depth of a song, but is never sentimental. The words are
articulated so brilliantly but there is a touch of mystery. It has the capacity
to mean different things to the listener at different times," Mishra said in a
statement.
Mishra's comment comes amidst Union Minister Babul Supriyo's
suggestion to temporarily ban Pakistani artistes from working in the Hindi film
industry.
Atif, who has sung for several Bollywood films like "Kalyug"
and "Hindi Medium", said that he found the new song "an interesting composition
because of the lyrics and the way it was supposed to be sung, especially the
change of the music from the beginning to the end is very amusing".
"It
is beautifully composed and I thoroughly enjoyed working for this song, I hope
everyone loves it too," he added.
"Sehmi hai Dhadkan" has been composed
by Vipin Patwa and written by Sagar.
"Daas Dev" is Mishra's take on
modern-day "Devdas". The upcoming film stars Rahul Bhat as Devdas, Richa Chadha
as Paro, Aditi Rao Hydari as Chandramukhi with filmmaker Anurag Kashyap doing a
cameo role.
The film will release on March 23.
