Ali Zafar Records Two Tracks for ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’

Like he did in “Tere Bin Laden“, we did expect Ali to be giving a few tracks for “Mere Brother Ki Dulhan“. When Yash Raj Films made an investment in Zafar’s “Jhoom” this year by releasing it in India, it was clear that Ali was going to do some music for the YRF.

Our earlier sources revealed that Ali will be giving three tracks for the film but only one was recorded back then. We have just heard that Ali has recorded the other two songs for the upcoming Bollywood flick in which he has acted too. Both the tracks were recorded today at Yash Raj Studios. The music has been done by Sohail Sen who has previously done music for the films like “What’s Your Rashee” and “Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey”.

Atif Aslam Shows Insecurity Towards Ali Zafar’s Exceeding Success

Atif Aslam is perhaps the most popular celebrity of the country. It’s been a while he’s been on the top and we haven’t seen anyone really catching up until a while ago. Even though Atif still is probably the highest paid musician and gets more shows than anyone else does but we think since recently he has started to feel a little insecure.

We have heard from sources close to the situation that recently for a show, Ali Zafar and Atif were approached to do a live collaboration on stage for the first time which had Zafar excited but Aslam flatly refused. Seems like Zafar’s reigning success in Bollywood and applaud for his new album Jhoom has made Aslam insecure.

Tere Bin Laden to Have a Sequel?

Earlier today, Zoom TV got a scoop on what they called “Tere Bin Laden 2”, sequel to “Tere Bin Laden“, a low-budget comedy film that scored overwhelming response, directed by a first-timer, featuring prince of pop, Ali Zafar.

The rumor soon enough made rounds on all major media sources of bollywood. Director of the movie, Abhishek Sharma, when asked replied

“Yes, we have had discussions [about the sequel], but till we don’t hit upon the right idea, there’s no point going ahead with it. Pooja, Aarti and I genuinely feel there’s no point announcing a sequel, if the script isn’t in place. If we hit upon an interesting idea some day and if we feel that the second part will be better than the first, we will go ahead and make one. But not in the immediate future.”

It is common knowledge that Ali and Katrina have been signed on for Yash Raj’s next film. So, when Katrina spotted her going to be co-star Ali whom she had seen and liked in Tere Bin Laden, she thought it would be nice if she went up to him and made some polite conversation. But Katrina, was instead, greeted by a blank Ali Zafar, who remained oblivious to the fact that she is his co-star.
