Yash Raj Films and Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara is turning out to be the best music album to have come out of Bollywood in a while. After the chartbuster Saiyaara title track, the second song Barbaad, sung by Jubin Nautiyal, has also become a rage on the internet. The makers have dropped the third song of the film today, a peppy love track called Tum Ho Toh, sung by the versatile Vishal Mishra.

`Waited to collaborate with Vishal for 12 years`

Mohit Suri reveals that he has known Vishal for 12 years now and was overwhelmed to learn that the singer decided to pursue music as a career after listening to Mohit’s soulful love songs during his college days.
 
Mohit, who completes 20 years in the Hindi film industry during which he has delivered scores of musical megahits that the country has fallen in love with, says, “Vishal & I had always planned to collaborate on something special ever since he came to meet me over 12 years back. We just waited for the right moment and I’m glad it was for Saiyaara. I was humbled to hear him say that it was my music that made him want to pursue music as a career. He fell in love with my brand of music when he was going through a heart-break during his college days". 

He adds, “When you hear your work have an impact like this on someone, it is an overwhelming feeling. I have always felt that music has the ability to touch people’s hearts and is an extremely pure medium. So, in my 20 years of directing and creating music, I do feel grateful that I have created memories for people through my songs. Vishal Mishra is one of the most talented artistes I have ever met in my career and it is my privilege to have him in the music album of Saiyaara. I still have the scratches that Vishal had given me since he kept meeting me for 12 years now and they are just pure gold!”
