Desi-Box.com caught up with heart throb Abbas Hasan, check out what went down below:
Can you give us any news on the New Album?
Since I’ve been back from India, I’ve been working with Rishi Rich and a bunch of different producers. Now we are at a place that we are able to put the finishing touches to the album which is quite exciting and it’s coming out this year. You will definitely be hearing news on the album in the next few months. The album will have quite an eclectic in terms of musical style. Bit of middle eastern, electro, ballads, it’s a good kind of mix of genres.
Your new Malayalam film Mazhavillinattam Vare is out soon can you tell us a bit about that?
People as ask me are you an actor or singer, I am 100% defiantly a musician. At the end of the day I’m an artist and will do projects that inspire and excite me. It’s a cricket based love story but film is about how borders and boundaries don’t matter. As a global Asian artist that is a message that i believe in. I felt like I really had to do this film once I found out the concept and the story. The new song Rabia is vocaled by Udit Narayan. I’m a big fan of his I have grown up watching Bollywood films. I was in India for 4 and half months for shooting but really enjoyed the process.
You speak English, Arabic as well as French, did you pick up Malayalam easily?
You would think that. It’s completely different to Hindi and Urdu. Like the way they sing their sentences. But something I got used to at tend. We used to go everything. Became like a daily ritual. The biggest challenge for me was learning my lines in Malayalam, sitting with the guys to learn the pronunciation and meaning.
