Acting Career

In 2010, Atif also diversified as an actor and took up the challenge to star in a movie called “BOL”. The movie is directed by acclaimed Pakistani director Shoaib Mansoor and provides a deep moralistic insight into the most sensitive issues prevailing in Pakistan. The aim of the movie is to convey a meaningful message to the audience and that is the main reason that Atif Aslam chose this particular role over all the offers he had received. He wanted to portray a character that would be of some use to the society and would also challenge his limits as an artist.

Atif had received offers for various projects in India, but he chose to begin his acting career in a Pakistani movie because he wanted to return to his roots. His music career took off in Pakistan and he wanted to do his first movie project in a Pakistani venture as well. Atif Aslam sang two songs for the movie. The first song was called “Kaho (Aj Bol Do)” and the second song was called “Hona Tha Pyaar” that was composed by Atif Aslam himself. Both songs received a great response.

The movie released all over Pakistan on 24th June, 2011 and is set to release worldwide later this year. The response in Pakistan was phenomenal as the movie created box office history in its very first week. The rave reviews from the critics were accompanied by a record breaking business of Rs. 25 million approximately by the end of first week. The response of the movie goers in Pakistan solidified the reputation of Atif Aslam as the most charismatic personality in recent history.
