Bollywood Comeback Stalled

Atif had been slated to make a return to Bollywood after nearly eight years with the film LSO90’s (Love Story of 90’s). However, the project was halted following the renewed ban on Pakistani artists in India after the Pahalgam terror attack.

Career Across Borders

Over the years, Atif Aslam has cemented his position as one of South Asia’s most recognisable voices. In Bollywood, he has delivered chart-topping songs such as Tera Hone Laga Hoon, Jeene Laga Hoon, Dil Diyan Gallan, and Jeena Jeena.

In Pakistan’s music industry, Atif’s performances on Coke Studio have achieved massive acclaim. His renditions of Tajdar-e-Haram (Season 8), Wohi Khuda Hai (Season 12), and Man Aamadeh Am (with Gul Panra) have collectively garnered hundreds of millions of views on YouTube and received critical praise for their vocal mastery and emotional depth.
