Shafqat's voice right for 'Mitwa': Ehsaan
Arpana, Indo-Asian News Service

Mumbai, July 23 (IANS) Musicians Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy roped in Pakistani singer Shafqat Amanat Ali to sing "Mitwa" - a chartbuster from Karan Johar's latest offering
"Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna" - as they felt his voice suited the song.

"We were in Goa composing the track and wanted an exotic voice for the song. Shankar heard Shafqat's song 'Ankhon ke sagar' on radio and was quite impressed with his
voice. He immediately messaged a friend for the singer's name," says Ehsaan Noorani.

"We wanted to work with Shafqat since then for something really big and 'Mitwa' happened."

"Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna" is the composer trio's second film with Dharma Productions, the first being "Kal Ho Naa Ho", which was declared as one of the biggest musical
hits of 2004.

Their fans can stand back for Farhan Akhtar's "Don" and Shaad Ali's "Jhoom Baraabar Jhoom".

'Bad' boy Murli's good act

Murli Sharma, the baddie from "Maqbool", "Main Hoon Na" and "Apharan", is a true 'hero'.

When Mumbai observed a two-minute silence for the 7/11 rail blast victims, the actor was in the capital. He set an alarm for 6.25 p.m. and prayed for all the innocents who
lost their lives in the gruesome tragedy.

"I know it doesn't really make a difference, but this is the least we can do," said Murli, a true Mumbaikar.

Right now he is awaiting the release of Inder Kumar's "Dhamal" - starring Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, Aashish Chowdhary, Javed Jaffri and Riteish Deshmukh - and
Sudhanshu Jha's "Ek Dastak" with Vashudhara Das.

There is also a Hollywood production, "Rock N Meera", in the offing.
