This marks the second time that the renowned Pakistani singer Ali Azmat, has collaborated with the Indian film director Pooja Bhatt; this time too to have sung two songs for her film, Jism 2.

Previously, Ali Azmat who was formerly the lead vocalist of the popular Pakistani sufi-rock band ‘Junoon’, gave his song “Garaj Baras” to Bhatt for her 2004 debut movie as a director, Paap. Jism 2, which is a sequel to the 2003 film Jism, will be starring Sunny Leone, Emran Hashmi alongwith Randeep Hooda.

Ali has lent his voice for Hooda’s character, Kabir – for which he has sung a couple of songs namely, “Kuch Rahein Gaya Baki” and “Yeh Jism”. Arko Prova Mukherjee has written and composed the songs.

Whilst commenting on the songs, the film music director said, “Randeep plays the cello in the film. So, I have used cello as the signature instrument in Ali’s songs for Randeep. I’ve penned the lyrics for the song — ‘Kuch Rahein Gaya Baki’. It has a Sufi-rock feel to it and has a world music sound. There is a thematic composition that’s like a background score with lyrics. It’s called ‘Yeh Jism’.”

The most intriguing part is that Ali Azmat recorded these songs in Lahore on Skype as he was not granted a visa to visit India.

The film is all set to be released in December whilst the soundtrack is expected to come out earlier in September or November.
