Atif Aslam
has sung two songs for Barbara Mori’s, Kites fame, "My Brother’s Wife”
which is a rated R Mexican film directed by Ricardo de Montreuil, based
on the novel of the same name by Jaime Bayly.
The film was released in Mexico in 2005 and was in Spanish-language
but now the film has been dubbed in English & Urdu/Hindi and is
ready to be re-released in India around September/October 2010. The
Urdu/Hindi version of the film features four songs as background score
in which according to the producer of the film, two of them have been
sung by Atif Aslam.
This is not the first time that Atif Aslam has done songs for films
other than from Bollywood industry. First one being an American
independent film "Man Push Cart” by Ramin Bahrani, released in 2005.
Barbara's 'My Brother's Wife' postponed Rakesh
Roshan's kati patang has had a domino effect in the industry. The producer
Jayantilal Gada, who was keen to release Barbara Mori's Spanish film My
Brother's Wife, is introspecting on the wisdom of the idea. Barbara hasn't
exactly created a flutter after the releaseof Kites. The big question that Gada
is grappling with now is: Can he bank on her to carry the
film?
Though Gada has dubbed the film in English and
Hindi, he has decided to postpone the release of his film. Scheduled to release
in June, the film will now release only two-three months later.
A
source says, "It's a business decision. The Indian audience did not lap up
Kites. He expected Kites to do very well. There was so much hype about that
film. But now, Gada wants all the negativity about Kites to die
down.
He expects that this will happen in two-three months time. Only
then, he will release his film."
The producer is putting up a brave
front though. Gada said, "I was sure that Kites will be a super hit. So I had
decided to release my film immediately after Kites. But now we are adding four
good songs (two by Atif Aslam) to the film as background
score.
However, I must say that I am very confident about my film.
You can say that I am relaunching Barbara Mori in India. Boney Kapoor is
releasing my film."
The big question that Gada is grappling with now
is: Can he bank on Barbara to carry the film?
