In August 2010, Salman Ahmad was interviewed by American music magazine The Rolling Stone; he talked about his novel and the soundtrack album based on the novel. In the interview, Salman informed that in India the book will be published by Jaico Publishing House and will be accompanied by a free CD which includes two singles, "Love Can You Take Me Back" and "Bulleya/Lonely Heart", and also including two other tracks, "Sayonee" and "Meri Awaz Suno". Salman also confirmed that he was working on a new Junoon album release, which will release in next year. On August 16, in an interview with BBC World Service, Salman Ahmad confirmed that he was writing a song named "Khwab" for the Pakistan flood victims in order to raise funds for them. He also confirmed that the song would be internationally released within a few weeks' time and that he hoped to record it with Pakistani and Western artists. After a few days, it was confirmed that Salman Ahmad would collaborate with Peter Gabriel on the song "Khwab", in an attempt to raise funds for the Pakistan flood victims. On August 25, Salman Ahmad talked to Dutch TV about organizing a charity concert with various artists to collect money for the flood victims in Pakistan. In September, Salman Ahmad confirmed that he has collaborated with Alison Sudol on the song "Pakistan Humara" (first named "Khwab", later named "Open Your Eyes") for the Pakistan flood victims. Salman further added that Peter Gabriel will be bringing his genius to the song on September 6. “Will try and send a picture from the studio”, says Salman.
