The low budget romance flick Rhythm, will jump start the career of Pakistani singer Adeel Chaudary: the film has made headlines in the past because it features a cameo by Junoon’s founder/guitarist Salman Ahmed.
The lead character in the film, however, is played by Adeel. He stars as Bombay boy Rohan, who goes to study in Poland and falls in love. He uses music to woo the girl of his dreams.
Adeel has also sung and composed the music for a song in Rhythm – which was his only initial association with the film.
“I had been in touch with the director and producer to compose and sing a song. During one of our meetings, [the director] Vivek suddenly suggested that I audition for the film. He said that he’d like to give me a chance. I had no experience of acting before, so I was pretty oblivious as to what I should do. However, I auditioned for the role and they loved it. And so I began to discover my inner actor and accept the invitation to the world of cinema.”
