Mumbai, June 6 (SocialNews.XYZ) The title track of "Saiyaara", which was released recently, has marked the debut of two Kashmiri musical artistes Faheem Abdullah and Arslan Nizami, who are honoured to represent their state in the Hindi film industry.

He added: "I'm really happy that two Kashmiri boys have worked really hard to land this project of a lifetime and are trying to make a name for themselves in the Hindi film industry.

"Saiyaara title track is one of the purest songs that I have ever heard and I have tried to pour my everything into it under the guidance of the genius Tanishk Bagchi and the music visionary Mohit Suri. I share this moment with my friend Arslan without whom the magic of Saiyaara couldn't come alive," said the musician. For Arslan, it is hard to believe. He said: "I wouldn't have believed it if people told me a couple of years earlier that I would get a chance to compose a song for a big film in the Hindi film industry. So, there was no way that I was dreaming that I would get a chance to compose for Mohit Suri in his directorial." He called it an incredible milestone moment for his career and that he couldn't be happier, prouder. Arslan added: "To have my song, which I have composed along with an exceptionally talented fellow Kashmiri artiste like Faheem and the incredible Tanishk Bagchi, lead the Saiyaara promotional campaign feel surreal." Arslan is in disbelief and is speechless. "I'm proud that two Kashmiri boys are here in Mumbai and trying to show what we can do to the whole country. I know we will work exceptionally hard in the near future to make our state prouder and I thank Mohit Suri sir for his unflinching belief in us." He credited the director for giving the two "wind beneath our wings to fly higher from here on." The track offers a glimpse into the emotional depth of Saiyaara.
