There was a time when Hashmi was mostly seen in films produced under Mahesh Bhatt's 'Vishesh Films' banner. However, with films like 'Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji' and 'The Dirty Picture', it kind of feels Emraan has moved on.
"When we make a proper announcement, then you definitely would come to understand everything like what's the title of the film and likewise about the cast," Johar told reporters here last night, on the album launch of 'Rang Colors of Sufism'.
"I am a large fan of Emraan Hashmi. He has done very well for himself and has done good work. And talking about Sufism, certainly one of my favourite songs is 'ishq sufiyana' from Emraan's film," Johar said.
Times Music has released an album, 'Rang - Colors of Sufism', comprising renditions and interpretations by sarod artistes Amaan Ali Khan and Ayaan Ali Khan, sons of sarod maestro Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, of timeless Qawwalis. "I liked the album, the best way they have played the sarod, composed the music and presented the song.
They are youth icons on this musical industry. Every year, there may be increasingly more demand for Sufi music, but through Amaan and Ayaan, if the music reaches the people, the impact is way larger and greater," Johar said.
"Me and my brother have always tried combing different Indian art forms that may come together to create something extraordinary. We are happy the way in which the album has pop out. Hope everyone likes it," Amaan said.
The album is a confluence of six tracks like 'Mann Kunto Maula', 'Aaj Rang Hai', 'Bahaut Din Beete', 'Main Nizaam', 'Zihale Miskin' and 'Kaahe Ko Byaahe Bides'. "THIS CAN BE A very special album for us. I'M HOPING everyone enjoys our most up-to-date work," Ayaan said.
