Faheem Abdullah is the singer behind the hit song “Saiyaara” from the new Bollywood movie directed by Mohit Suri. Instead of the popular singer Arijit Singh, Mohit Suri chose Faheem because his voice fits the story and the hero of the film very well.
Faheem’s Journey to Bollywood
Faheem Abdullah and his friend Arslan Nizami come from Srinagar, Kashmir. They did not know anyone in the film industry. They moved to Mumbai with just enough money to stay for two weeks. On the 13th day, they met music composer Tanishk Bagchi, who gave them a chance to work on the Saiyaara album. This moment changed their lives.
Why Mohit Suri Picked Faheem
Mohit Suri has launched many famous singers before, like Arijit Singh. But this time, he wanted a fresh and new voice for his movie. Mohit said Arijit’s voice was perfect for films he made 14 years ago. For this new film, Faheem’s voice was a better match for the new actor Ahaan Panday. Mohit believes in giving new singers a chance to shine.
What This Means for Faheem
The success of the Saiyaara song helped Faheem get signed by T-Series, one of India’s biggest music labels. Faheem is excited to work with T-Series and hopes to bring other talented singers from Kashmir to the spotlight. He feels very lucky to have this opportunity.
Faheem Abdullah’s story shows that new and unknown singers can become stars with talent and the right chance.
