Roy on a roll

Published February 19, 2017

Pop singer Shehzad Roy has become quite good at multitasking. On the one hand, his work with a school is keeping him busy, and on the other hand he hasn’t ignored his showbiz roots. His song Ballay Ballay at the opening ceremony of the second edition of the Pakistan Super League in Dubai was appreciated by all and sundry. It is quite a foot-tapping composition with a nice little play on the word balla meaning a cricket bat. Good thinking Shehzad R. Keep batting boy.
