MUMBAI: Atif Aslam has revealed had recorded the track Gerua for Shah Rukh Khan's film Dilwale. In a recent interaction, the Pakistani singer said that he had recorded the song and sent it to Shah Rukh's team but this wasn't conveyed to the actor.
The original song was sung by Arijit Singh and Antara Mitra. Atif also gave a message to Shah Rukh saying that he would love to sing for the actor any day.
The host asked if it was true he had refused to sing a song for Shah Rukh Khan as he was busy. Laughing, Atif responded, “No, nothing of that sort. First of all, I came across him only once in my life and he is a wonderful person. But he never said it personally. His team got in touch with us and we recorded the song and we had sent back the song. But, it's on record I'm saying, I don't know what happened. His team didn’t put us through, our song...I think I still have the recording for it. Something happened which wasn't conveyed to him. And the next thing I see Shah Rukh Khan saying 'Atif Aslam wasn't available for my song. Maybe he was too busy singing for a Chinese film'.”
He added, "If Shah Rukh Khan watches this, I was not busy, not at all. I would never be busy for you and I'd love to sing for you any day. He should check with his team because we did the song."
In an interview in 2015, Shah Rukh was quoted by DNA as saying, "We had approached Atif Aslam to sign Gerua first. He did not have time for me. Then he must be singing for Chinese films now."
