The Pakistani band Junoon’s Salman Ahmad, whose song Sayonee struck a chord with music lovers, returns to Bollywood after quite a long gap. Not only has the talented musician composed a mesmerising soundtrack for the upcoming musical romance Rhythm, but he’ll also be seen in a special appearance, playing himself in it.
Known for his Sufi rock creations, Salman brings back his magic with the songs he has composed for this movie. Presented by R N Kumar, the film featuring Pakistan-Canadian actor Adeel Chaudhary and Rinil Routh is set in an international university.
All praise for his composer-singer, director Vivek Kumar says, “Like everyone who loved Salman’s Sayonee, this song never got erased from my mind. When I contacted him, he liked the idea and immediately agreed to not only compose the music but also play a cameo. I got the melody I wanted, the rawness that we don’t get to hear in music today. These songs will succeed in refreshing the memories of the generation that missed the spectacular Sufi Rock genre.”
‘Rhythm’ releases February 19.
