Talented actor and director Yasra Rizvi has been working on different projects lately but some might wonder what happened to one of her beloved projects — Senti Aur Mental — a film that she worked on, but it didn’t come to fruition. She shot half of the film and then the work stopped, however, the actor believes in celebrating everyone’s hard work and effort. Hence, she will be releasing a song from the film and we are giving you an exclusive look at it before its release.
In Yasra’s own words, she described how she tried making a film with minimum resources, and though she didn’t succeed, she took home many memories to cherish.
“Punjabiaan di shadiaan da vakhra ae swag ni! [Punjabi weddings have their own unique swag]. Here is to trying and failing, three years ago we went to a film set with less than half a crew, some savings, some debt and a lot of help and love from some remarkable artists. We had a ball shooting half the film and that’s where it ends. RIP Senti Aur Mental!” she said.
“We wont be finishing it but here is a song from the film’s soundtrack to celebrate the efforts of all the extremely talented people who came with open hearts and tireless dedication towards Pakistani cinema and ended up making it a life altering experience,” she added, introducing the song Tere Hashtag Ni.
It appears to be a fun song with quirky lyrics featuring a mehndi or mayun event in which all the family member are dancing and having the time of their lives.
The song is produced by Schumaila Rehmat Hussain and Faraz Rizvi, sung by Mohsin Abbas Haider and Schumaila. The lyrics are penned by Asrar Alam & Schumaila.
Perhaps, this is the first time in the recent past that a song from an unfinished Pakistani film will be released and everyone will be given their due credit for the time they put in while shooting for it.
“A very special thank you to all the actors!” Yasra specially added.
