For their upcoming film ‘Tum Mile’, Emraan Hashmi and Soha Ali Khan recently shot a promotional video for the track 'Dil Ibadat'. Even though the film version of the song has already been canned, the makers felt that an added promotional music video would add impetus to the film's music sales as well as theatrical run.

"There is a film version that we have already canned during the principal shooting of the film. However, it didn't have lip synch and was primarily a montage track. We felt that a lip synch version shot as a music video would bring a different flavour for 'Dil Ibadat'", says Emraan Hashmi.

Incidentally ever since the beginning of his career, Emraan Hashmi has always struck gold when it comes to chartbuster music videos.

"Music of ‘Tum Mile’ is such that it deserves to be promoted to the fullest", Emraan Hashmi says, "Pritam's music is fantabulous enough to warrant not just the film version but also the music videos. We are yet to take a call on whether both the versions of 'Dil Ibadat' would play separately in the film or would be merged into one."

‘Tum Mile’ would be the first instance when Emraan Hashmi would be paired with Soha Ali Khan. In her short career so far, Soha hasn't featured in too many music videos and appearing in one such video opposite Emraan was indeed quite special for her.

The video was shot indoors by director Kunal Deshmukh himself. Even though Mohit Suri is considered to be an in-house specialist for Bhatts when it comes to making music videos for their projects, Kunal took the onus on himself to execute 'Dil Ibadat'. Earlier, Mohit Suri has shot music videos for not just his own Raaz - The Mystery Continues but also for ‘Jashnn’ that had director duo of Raksha Mistry and Hasnain Hyderabadwala at the helm.
