A still from Daas Dev

Amid calls for a ban on Pakistani artistes from working in the Hindi film industry, composer Vipin Patwa, who has worked with the neighbouring country's singers like Atif Aslam and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, says music has become global and talent is beyond nationality. Last year, Patwa had to fight to keep Rahat's song Rog jaane in the film Laali Ki Shadi Mein Laddoo Deewana. A year later, he is back with a collection of songs, some of which have been sung by Pakistani singers Atif and Javed Bashir. What makes him look for talent in Pakistan instead of India?
