Arafat Mohsin is one of the two brothers (Arafat Kirty and Arafat Mohsin) who remade the oldie "O bondhu laal golapi" for a popular telefilm '@18' back in 2013. The song connected instantly with the youngsters and for Studio 58, the name by which everyone recognises the talents duo, there was no looking back. Mohsin decides to take some time out from his studio and talk to the Star Weekend about movies and music.
