After portraying many romantic roles on silver screen, Bollywood heartthrob John Abraham is now all set to mesmerise audience with his role as an angel in a Pakistani music album.
The music album 'Koi Aanay Wala Hai' by famous Pakistani rock band 'Strings' will feature the actor as an angel who falls in love with a beautiful girl after seeing her in trouble on earth and decides to become human to
be with her forever.
"When Bilal came to me with the concept of an angel, we decided only John could do justice with the role because he possesses the similar kind of personality we required for this character," said band member Faisal
Kapadia.
Shot in the beautiful locations of Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia, John will be seen doing some extraordinary flying stunts in the getup of an angel with wings.
"John became a very dear friend when we were working for 'Zinda'. We decided to team up with John for 'Koi Aanay Wala Hai' and he is perfect for the role," Faisal says.
When asked about the concept of Album, Faisal said, "When we gave the tittle 'Koi Aanay Wala Hai', both of us wanted to make the video reflecting the concept.
All the songs in the album revolve around the
story of an angel" It has been a long break of four years for 'Strings' to come up with this album but the duo are confident for the success of the album and promise that their latest album will become a chartbuster too.
"We toured a lot during this time to perform in concerts. These four years have been very great for us. Now, we are back with lot of energy," Faisal explains about their disappearance from the music scene.
"It
is our best work so far and we have worked very hard for one and half years on it. The effort has been very satisfying and we are confident that 'Strings' fans will love 'Koi Aanay Wala Hai'." says Faisal.
'Inspired by the contemporary British rock and music of 60s and 70s, this indipop video Album has eight energetic tracks composed by Faisal Kapadia and Bilal Maqsood.

"The music and the video are exceptional. We are sure of a great response to this album," says Shridhar Subramaniam, Managing Director of Soni BMG.
'Strings' is one of the few Pakistani bands to achieve international fame besides 'Junoon' and 'Vital Sings'. Band members Faisal and Bilal are well known names in India for the hits like 'Dhaani' and 'Najanay Kyu'. The
duo have also worked in films like 'Zinda' and 'Shootout At Lokhandwala'.
