In an interview the rock star talked about his role in the drama. He also talked about the hard work and effort it took for the character of ‘Hilmand’. “I know it sounds very cliché, that you have been waiting for the right script. I have been waiting and 17 years later, Sang-e-Mah seemed to be the perfect script for me. I wanted to do it.” said Atif. Talking about his role the singer expressed that he was tempted to accept this script as it was quite unique. He stated, “What clicked for me was how this was a new territory for me. I had never done this before.” The rockstar also showed respect for artists considering his experience while shooting the drama. “I would like to appreciate everyone who works in films, dramas – regardless of the medium. I have so much respect for them. It’s difficult to work,” he stated. The singer mentioned that the character of Hilmand is very dark, witty and spiritual. When he was asked the reason for accepting such a dark role, on that Atif replied, “Why not?” Atif further talked about the show quoting that, the public is generally watching ‘drawing room’ serials and they have brought something out of the box. According to the singer Sang-e-Mah is different and they have experimented in making something out of the ordinary.
