Pakistan’s Pop Princess Nazia Hassan first gained attention with ‘Aap Jaisa Koi’ which was part of the Qurbani soundtrack by Biddu. After the success of this song, Biddu decided to produce an entire album with Nazia Hassan. When brainstorming the title of the album, Biddu came up with Disco Deewane, which inspired him so much that he wrote the song ‘Disco Deewane’ in one night.
Nazia and Zoheb Hassan recorded the song very soon after that. The rest, as they say, is history. ‘Disco Deewane’ was an instant hit, not just in Pakistan, but all over the world. The success of this 1980 album drove the BBC to invite the young duo for an interview.
