T-Series presents Tera Shehar sung by Mohd. Kalam , written by Manoj Muntashir and composed by Amaal Mallik

Mumbai: July 3: After amassing over 72 million views on YouTube with their last single Zindagi Di Paudi, T-Series in association with Manoj Muntashir Entertainment and R-Chills Music has released their latest single ‘Tera Shehar’. Incidentally the videos of the both singles have been shot in the picturesque locations of Armenia.

‘Tera Shehar’ traces the path of love and sacrifice and is based on the concept of ‘If you love someone set them free and if they come back to you, they’re yours.’ The lyrics and the soulful notes of the song communicate the pain of love and loss and the sacrifice that goes along with love, and how true love always wins at the end. The music video stars Yaariyan actor Himansh Kohli and the lovely Pia Bajpiee. The heart touching song releases on YouTube officially today.

Lyricist Manoj Muntashir had been looking to launch his own production house since quite some time and Tera Shehar is the perfect venture to begin with. Launching the new, but extremely talented 22-year-old singer, Mohd. Kalam, was quite a journey for the wordsmith as he frequently meets a lot of new singers. However, the pain and rawness in Kalam’s voice appealed not only to Manoj Muntashir but also to the young, promising melody maker of our times, Amaal Mallik, who is the composer of the song.

Talking about the same, Manoj Muntashir said, “I am very happy to be launching not only my own production company, but also Mohd. Kalam with this song. I am eagerly waiting for the audience’s response, and I’m sure everyone who has been in love will relate to this track.”

Music composer, Amaal Mallik also expressed his happiness and said, “I have composed many songs in the past but this song has a special place in my heart. Mohd. Kalam is incredibly talented and his voice fits so perfectly with this song. The tune and the lyrics have an identity of their own and I hope the audience enjoys the song as much as I enjoyed composing it.”

Meanwhile, debutant singer Mohd. Kalam also spoke about his big break. He said, “I don’t think I could have got a better launch into this industry. I’m so grateful to everybody who believed in me and my talent. I hope the audience can connect with the song and the underlying emotions beneath it. My journey has just begun and I cannot wait to see where it takes me.”

Actor Himansh Kohli adds, “A lot of people would be able to connect with Tera Shehar. Not because they have gone through a breakup or because they may have had some issues but because there is pain in the song and Pain is a universal feeling. Voh pain sabki life mein, kahin na kahin, kisi na kisi form mein hoti hai.”

T-Series chairman and managing director, Bhushan Kumar stated, “My father always believed in giving an opportunity to new talent. I am glad that through Tera Shehar we are launching a new singer Mohd. Kalam, who has captured the feel of this song just the way it should be. I would also like to congratulate Manoj Muntashir for foraying into production with Tera Shehar and doing such a fantastic job at it. I had a smile on my face when I first saw the video of Tera Shehar. I am certain our listeners will not have any reason to complain.”

The video was shot in the beautiful country of Armenia in a span of four days. It is directed by Shabby Singh and produced by Vishal Sadhariya of R-Chills Music. ‘Tera Shehar’ presented by T-Series and Manoj Muntashir Entertainment in association with R-Chills Music is out now.

Himansh Kohli delves into his personal pain to portray character in Tera Shehar

Life imitates art and often art borrows from life. So it was not surprising when actor Himansh Kohli who features in the forthcoming single Tera Shehar shared that he dug into his own pain to portray the turmoil of the character portrayed by him in Mohd. Kalam’s first single. Penned by Manoj Muntashir and composed by Amaal Mallik, the song is presented by T-Series.

Tera Shehar talks about unrequited love, talks about the pain and anguish of loss in love. When asked if he drew from his growing up or college days to do justice to emotions that the story in the song is trying to show. Himansh elaborating on the process said, “The song by itself speaks volumes. This is a song that every person will be able to connect with in his life. I have also been through that phase and had a recent experience and hence the song and its lyrics resonated with me. The lyrics have depth and stir strong emotions within. After hearing the song, I felt, ke Manoj ji ne shayad ye ganaa maano mere liye hi likha hai.”

Himansh maintains that there have been plenty of love stories. There are love stories which are not successful and are unable to put themselves into words. The actor feels people will be able to connect to the song because of the way it has been rendered by Mohd. Kalam and the way the story of the song has been so beautifully captured in the video. He adds, “A lot of people would be able to connect with Tera Shehar. Not because they have gone through a breakup or because they may have had some issues but because there is pain in the song and Pain is a universal feeling. Voh pain sabki life mein, kahin na kahin, kisi na kisi form mein hoti hai. Tera Shehar aisa gaana hai jo unn saari emotions par aapko pakad lega aur aapko ek trance mein le jaayega, to deal with your pain, to understand it and to feel lighter after it.”

Himansh recalls a line of an old song  -- ‘Voh afsaana jisse anjaam tak lana na mumkin, ussey ek khoobsurat modh dekar chodhna achcha.’ “Tera Shehar brings out those exact emotions. Wahi emotions jinsey main bhi connect hua aur main hissa bana iss magical song --- Tera Shehar ka”, he signs off.

‘Tera Shehar’ presented by T-Series and Manoj Muntashir Entertainment in association with R-Chills Music releases tomorrow, July 3.
