I’m not sure why he isn’t taking part in the activity, but, as a producer, I see that work promised hasn’t been executed,” Kumar said in a state- ment. “Sehmi hai dhadkan” was launched on February 22 as the irst song from Sudhir Mishra’s ilm “Daas Dev”, a contemporary take on Sarat Chandra Chattopad- hyay’s novel “Devdas”. Earlier this month, politician Babul Supriyo had asked for a ban on Pakistani artistes working in the Hindi ilm industry. Kumar said: “Normally, such statements are made by fringe groups. When a minister says it, it leaves an impact on more people. But we needed Atif for this song. He has 20 million followers on social media. Imagine the kind of traction we would have got had he promoted it.” “Daas Dev” stars Richa Chad- ha, Aditi Rao Hydari and Rahul Bhat. It is scheduled to hit the screens on March 23.
