The Saiyaara fever has not only been dominating the big screens, but it has also taken over social media. All over Instagram stories and reels, a deeply melodic male voice can be heard crooning the lyrics, “Saiyaara tu toh badla nahi hai“. As of now, the Mohit Suri-directed film has created box office records with two debutants, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, in the leads. However, a huge credit for this success also goes to the soulful album of Saiyaara that has brought back the frenzy among people for Bollywood romantic musicals.
Saiyaara‘s film director, Mohit Suri and its music composer, Tanishk Bagchi, have become the talk of the town for their masterful creativity. But very few people are aware of Faheem Abdullah, the singer who gave his vocals to Ahaan Panday’s ‘Krish Kapoor’. Mohit had made Arijit Singh a household name by launching him through Aashiqui 2. Now, the director has revealed why he chose a new voice this time, rather than Arijit. So, here’s everything to know about Saiyaara singer, Faheem Abdullah and why he was chosen by Mohit Suri.
Faheem Abdullah hails from Kashmir with no connections in the film industry
Even though most of the songs in the Saiyaara album have been composed by Tanishk Bagchi, the title track was created by Faheem Abdullah and his collaborator, Arslan Nizami. Both of them were born and brought up in Kashmir and had no connections with the film industry. In their hometown of Srinagar, Faheem and Arslan had achieved considerable recognition, but their music remained unknown to the rest of India.
