pritam

While some Bollywood actors and actresses drag themselves across the border sometimes, very few do it because the Indian government is making them do it. Pritam Chakraborty is one of those however, who is forced to go to Pakistan because of his love of music, the new singer he wants to record with and the lack of an Indian visa.

Not for Pritam of course, but Pakistani singer Atif. Even though borders have dropped somewhat between the countries, Pakistani’s don’t always have the most luck getting visas and since some composers like working with Pakistani’s (Pritam included), they’re either gonna have to pull some strings or go to Pakistan themselves.

So that’s why Pritam is now on his way to Lahore to get Atif to record a song for Aziz Mirza’s Kismat Konnection, starring Shahid Kapoor and Vidya Balan. Pritam is looking forward to it though,

“I need to urgently record a song with Atif for Aziz Mirza’s Kismat Connection. But he is suddenly having problems with his passport. So he can’t come to Mumbai I’m flying down to Lahore to record the song with him.”

“I’ve never been to Pakistan. And Jannat which has my music is being premiered in Pakistan later this month. So it would be mixing business with pleasure.”

Er, good for him. Take me with, I also wanna go to Pakistan!
