“It feels great the composition has been picked up by a film of this caliber. It shows that Pakistan music is a crowed puller,” said Farhad Humayun who is the producer and lead drummer.

Farhad Humayun reportedly discussed the possibility of future collaborations in New York last week.

The band was formed in 2003 and has released two studio and live albums.

Overload is preparing to play live across Japan and Singapore later this year.
