Imran Khan planning to collaborate with Atif Aslam?

After taking a bit of time out of the limelight, singing sensation Imran Khan is reportedly in plans to return to music, with a number of high profile collaborations planned for the coming year.

The Bewafa singer has already revealed he’s planning to work with US artist T-Pain on a new track, the details of which have not been fully released. However another rumour sweeping the Asian music scene is that Imran Khan is planning to work with Bollywood singer, Atif Aslam.

Imran Khan started the rumour himself by writing on his Twitter blog “Big up Atif Aslam” before posting a picture of himself with the former Jal singer on the micro blogging website where the two men were pictured looking slick in sharp suits and shades.

Although all of the signs point to a collaboration between Imran Khan and Atif Aslam, there’s been no official word from either of the artists’ representatives to confirm that the pair are working together on a musical project.

Atif Aslam shot to fame as the lead singer of the rock band Jal, before leaving the group to try his hand as a solo artist in 2004. The gamble paid off, with Aslam achieving a string of Bollywood hits including Tere Bin and Jalpuri and 3 bestselling albums.

If the rumours of a collaboration with Atif Aslam are true, it could provide an opening into Bollywood for up and coming singer Imran Khan.

Having spent the last few years making waves in the world of bhangra, it now seems that award-winning singer Imran Khan has plans to broaden his horizons with a move into Bollywood.

Speaking in a recent interview, the Holland based singer said he hopes to take his hugely successful Amplifier tour over to India in order to establish himself as an artist in the country before plotting a move into the Bollywood movie industry.

Praised by many for being an innovator in the world of bhangra, Khan has been at the forefront of a new form of bhangra described as a “Desi House sub genre.” After bursting onto the music scene this summer with his 15 track debut album, Khan enjoyed 5 weeks inside the top ten on the iTunes world music chart and the single Amplifier became an instant hit.

Filming for the Holland based singer songwriter’s next single was recently completed in London and is ready to hit the screens.
