After a long break from the film industry, Ali made an exciting return last year with the song ‘Tu Hai Kahaan’ from the movie ‘Do Aur Do Pyaar’. This collaboration with the band ‘The Local Train’ marks a remarkable moment in his career, following the success of his iconic track ‘Safarnama’ from ‘Tamasha’ (2015).

Ali expressed his enthusiasm for working with young composers and his appreciation for the song’s emotional depth, particularly its nostalgic feel. “I loved the scratch of ‘Tu Hai Kahaan’, and I felt it would suit my voice perfectly,” he shared.

‘The Local Train’ also expressed their excitement about working with the legendary singer. “We’re thrilled to have Lucky Ali lending his voice to our first original soundtrack. We tried to capture a bittersweet nostalgia in the track, much like how it feels when you revisit a cherished time in your life,” they said.

‘Do Aur Do Pyaar’, directed by Shirsha Guha Thakurta, features actors Ileana D’Cruz and Sendhil Ramamurthy, and has already captured the attention of music lovers thanks to the collaboration between Ali and the band.
