Directed by Indian film maker and choreographer Ahmed Khan featuring the young and talented Tiger Shroff, the track is now expected to do a lot better in the time to come. And that augurs well for Atif A’s career. No, the reference is not to his singing career but to his forthcoming foray into acting.
