The singer has been nominated for Tere Sung for the movie Rustom, this is Atif’s fifth nomination for the Filmfare Award in the same category. Previously, Atif had been nominated for ‘Jeena Jeena,’ Badlapur in 2016, ‘Tu Jaane Na,’ Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani in 2010, ‘Tere Bin,’ Bas Ek Pal in 2007 and ‘Woh Lamhe Woh Baatein,’ Zeher in 2006.

Rahat Fateh Ali Khan: 

‘Sadaa’ acts as a transport to a faraway land starring Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s quietly powerful vocals that bleed into this soul stirring ‘dhamaal’ to honor Lal Shahbaz Qalandar. The glorious rolling melody composed by Rahat himself float over the recognizable traditional rhythm of the dhol and dholak at the shrines – accompanied by a funk soundscape comprising restricted drums, immaculate bass lines, electric guitar et al – skillfully constructed by music director Shani Arshad. #CokeStudio9 Watch the full song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sj8Tl9id9O0

RFAK won the Filmfare award in 2011 for his track ‘Dil Toh Bacha Hai from Ishqiya. His other nominations were for ‘Teri Meri,’ Bodyguard in 2012, ‘Sajdaa,’ My Name Is Khan in 2011 and ‘Aaj Din Chadheya,’ Love Aaj Kal in 2010. The singer is competing against Atif Aslam. This will be certainly be a tough competition.
