After bringing two pop numbers “Yeh Kya Hua?” and “Turn up the Music Mr DJ” by Komal Rizvi and Qurram Hussain respectively, ‘Cornetto Pop Rock 2’ brings a soul-rock song by Ali Azmat and Quratulain Balouch as its third song for the season.

The song is titled as “Chal Diye” and though it is sung by legends like Ali Azmat and Quratulain Balouch, ‘Cornetto Pop Rock 2’ has given the opportunity to work on the song’s music video to new and promising artists.

Omran Shafique and Royal Law wrote the lyrics, whereas the former has also produced music for the song. The music video has been directed by Sonny Koh with Ammarul Haq as DOP. Styling has been done by Ifrah Humayun, whereas celebrity styling has been done by the seasoned stylist Ehtesham Ansari, who are both a part of acclaimed Asadul Haq’s team.

The concept for the music video is what ‘Cornetto Pop Rock 2’ is all about. A young couple supporting each other and having a relaxed, fun day; while on the other hand Ali Azmat and QB sing on stage for a young audience; the music video captures the essence of everything.

Talking about his experience at ‘Cornetto Pop Rock 2’, Sonny Koh said, “I have believed in and been intrigued by cinematic storytelling since a young age and now after graduating from film school, I hope to inspire others like the ones who inspired me.”

Quratulain Balouch shared her thoughts on the duet as, “The song ‘Chal Diye’ is a dreamer’s song. It calls out to all those who are not happy where they are in life and tells them to move towards something they are passionate about.”

Ali Azmat commented on his experience, “The song is meant to be an inspiration to youngsters to pursue their dreams and by giving the opportunity to work on this song to so many young people, ‘Cornetto Pop Rock 2’ is definitely helping young artists to do what they want to do in life.”
