“Composing for films tough”
Pakistani singer-actor Ali Zafar for the first time composed music for a film and says it was tough to compose for “London, Paris New York”.

“It was a different experience nonetheless, very fruitful, very enjoyable and I had really good time producing music for the film because it is a fun film with youthful songs,” he added.
Till now the 31-year-old has only created songs for albums, and Ali says he got full creative freedom to explore his work.
