The image that Yasir uploaded on his official Facebook page shows the two of them, Uzair Jaswal and a handful of others in ’80s inspired retro look sporting tinted sunglasses and the era’s fashion staple – bright and zany headbands. Another image features Armeena in a fun, pixie cut contrary to her girly TV image. In short, the music video promises to add some excitement to the otherwise dull music scene, just in time for Eid.
“The video is for Uzair Jaswal’s upcoming song ‘Sajna’,” reveal Yasir in a conversation with Instep. “A while back I made a video for Uzair’s song ‘Bolay’ for which we also won an LSA. That song also featured Osman and Uzair and had a prom night theme to it so we kind of tried to recreate those characters. The video is in no way an extension of that or related but we thought since people loved the chemistry why not bring that back.”
“Since the song also has an ’80s retro feel we have added that aspect to the video,” he adds. “Basically it revolves around Osman being stuck in a bad ’80s TV dream and the audience will really relate to it.” Yasir also shared that they have partnered with the local Toni & Guy team for giving the artists the funky makeover and every frame will be a display of their expert styling.
