The on-going tension between Pakistan and India has caused many troubles. One of the trouble is faced by Asim Azhar as his album and Bollywood song was going to release. He was working with famous music producer Tanishk Bagchi.
Asim shared, “I had recorded the single and had gone to Sri Lanka and shot a beautiful video for it with Tanishk Bagchi, who is one of the most successful music video producers in India. My team at Universal Music India and I were planning the release when the cross-border situation suddenly worsened.”
Asim also praised the team and said, “I have never worked with any other label and I consider myself lucky to have had signed up with them. They are an amazing team to work with and incredibly supportive.”
Asim and the record company cannot do anything until and unless the conflict between the two countries does not end.
“It was frustrating, waiting for the political situation between India and Pakistan to get better so that my singles could release. There was nothing that could be done. My music is my way of expressing myself and I felt as if I was caged. I was really down and then, I decided to let these emotions out by creating more songs. I think that I have about 20 to 40 songs that are partially or completely ready now.”
Asim believes everything has its time and said, “And there’s a time for everything. Perhaps my singles just weren’t meant to release according to how I had planned. I ended up working on other projects in the meantime. I have been interacting with audiences these days, performing live, and the response that I have been getting is amazing.”
Well, we can just wait and hope these conflicts end soon.
