One of the most celebrated names in pop music, Farhan Saeed had a fantastic last year. Having won several awards for the song ‘Roiyaan’, the singer-songwriter also made waves as an actor by starring in the TV drama Mere Ajnabi opposite actress Urwa Hocane.

Saeed’s next project seems equally exciting. His upcoming music video (for the single ‘Koi Raukey Na Mujhey’) is directed by Humza Yousuf and will feature him alongside model-actress Iman Ali (who is also starring in a music video with Shehzad Roy). The video will also feature veteran actor Sajid Hasan and fashion designer Munib Nawaz.
As for the song, Saeed is departing from his usual, pop-driven sound and is planning on experimenting with dubstep which could go either way.
After working with Jal for close to a decade which culminated in the albums Aadat and Boondh, Saeed, like several of his contemporaries, chose to go his solo way. The decision paid off as Saeed released a bunch of singles that played to his strengths as a singer. Songs like ‘Pi Jaun’ (2012), ‘Halka Halka Suroor’ (2013) and the more recent ‘Roiyaan’ (2014) have added to Saeed’s growing popularity on both sides of the border. So here’s hoping the new video lives up to expectations.
