Whoever thought that Pakistani music and musicians are not in demand in India anymore is mistaken. The latest is a band called Soch. One of their songs can be seen and heard in the film Ek Villain starring Ritesh Deshmukh, Siddharth Malhotra and Shradha Kapoor. It’s a rock track and the director of the film Mohit Suri appears to be fond of it. Not just that, another Pakistani-born singer who these days lives in the US, Momina Mustehsan has also lent her voice to the project.

Things are looking up for our vocalists and all we can say is: happy singing. Just don’t take too much cash with you while travelling (hint, hint).
