Atif Afzal a New York based composer and singer-songwriter also known by his stage name A-Zal, whose work also featured in the series.
Reportedly, two of Atif’s songs feature in the series- one is Dheemi Dheemi and another one is Aye Khuda. In a recent interview with a publication, Atif disclosed that one of the songs on the series, which is Aye Khuda, was meant to be used in Salman Khan’s film but the plan didn’t work out.
In an interview with PTI, Atif revealed, “I presented them around 12-15 tracks. The one they ended up liking the most was Aye Khuda, which apparently happens to be a composition which I did like a decade ago for a Salman Khan film, which didn’t eventually go on the floor.”
He further added, “That was supposed to be my first big break in Bollywood. I had just left my corporate job and Salman Khan picked me. It was crazy. But that did not happen. You feel a setback but then it makes it to Marvel. The song had its own journey”.
Atif also composed music for films like Monsoon Shootout, Prague and others. His work has also featured in American television series, Loki.
