Mustafa madness

12/ 6/2007

FOLLOWING the runaway success of tracks 'To Phir Aao' and 'Tera Mera Rishta' from the forthcoming Bollywood movie 'Awarapan', everyone wants to know about the new singing sensation from Pakistan, Mustafa Zahid.

Asian News brings readers a rare interview with the Pakistani rock sensation, courtesy of BBC Asian Network and Studio 18, where Mustafa talks about about working in Bollywood and his latest album.

Awarapan comes from the stables of ace movie mavericks, Mukesh Bhatt and Mahesh Bhatt, famous for crafting musical hits, Zeher, Woh Lamhe and Gangster.

Shot in Hong Kong and Bangkok, Awarapan is an intense and compelling drama about love, passion and betrayal. It tracks the journey of Shivam (Emraan Hashmi), a godless heartbroken boy who has never known or felt love.

In order to escape the ghosts of his tragic past, Shivam dedicates himself to serve his gangster boss in Hong Kong with unflinching correctness and loyalty.

His boss trusts him enough to ask him to keep an eye on his alluring girlfriend Reema (Shreya Saran) whom he has kept away from the eyes of his adversaries.

Shivam's falls in love with his boss's girlfriend Reema gives Shivam reason to believe that she likes him.

Existence begins to blush for Shivam but only till the reality dawns on him that Reema has a secret lover tucked away and was planning to elope with him. Her game was merely a smoke- screen created to gain freedom.

A shattered Shivam is in a dilemma on realizing that he has been heartlessly used - does he inform his boss or does he earn his wrath by helping his unrequited love to achieve the freedom she yearns for?

Awarapan is out on June 29.
