Sonu Nigam Returns As Host After 17 Years!

He shot to fame as the charming host of 'Sa Ra Ga Ma Pa' in 1995. While his good looks ensured that he was an instant click with the ladies, his vocal talent catapulted his career to dizzying heights as a playback singer. And 17 years down the line, Sonu Nigam, when approached to host the awards ceremony of a channel's 20th year, gave an instant nod without batting an eyelid, much to the delight of the creative team of the channel from where he started his career.

"I can never thank enough the ones who gave me a break. So, when the team approached me to return as a host for the awards, I looked at it as a way of expressing my heartfelt thanks," said Sonu. The singer went out of his way to ensure that the segment he was hosting at the ceremony was lively and entertaining. Not only did he involve himself with the writing and improvising of the script as an anchor, he even composed and sang an original song as a mark of tribute to the channel. His wife Madhurima designed his look as the host.

The event, which will be aired later, saw Sonu making a grand entry on a bike; he was a rockstar from the word 'go'! He had the audience in splits as he learnt a Bhojpuri item song from Laali ( Ratan Rajput). It was only after the event was over that he revealed his mother wasn't keeping well and that he wouldn't be able to attend the after-party.

Sonu Nigam's Song Shooting Progresses In Dubai!

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and actress Sonakshi Sinha are in Dubai.

The team of ‘Dabangg 2’ is shooting the last song for the film. It will be a romantic number called 'Saanson Ne' sung by Sonu Nigam and Tulsi Kumar.

Sonakshi, Salman along with sister Arpita Khan were spotted at the Mumbai airport making their way to the terminal. Sonakshi was at her casual best and Salman as usual had his brand of Being Human t-shirts on.

The pre-quel 'Dabangg' had a song 'Chori Kiya Re' which was also shot in Dubai. The soft romantic song became quite popular along with the other item song in the movie.

So this time too the director Arbaaz Khan has again chosen the same place for another romantic track from the sequel. We guess Dubai has been lucky for the 'Dabangg' team.

The song 'Saanson Ne' will be completed in two to three days and the team will throw a wrap-up party once they reach Mumbai.

While in Dubai Sonakshi caught up with good friend and Tennis player Sania Mirza.

Sania Mirza was passing through Dubai for a day, and since the cast and crew of 'Dabangg 2' were filming there at the time, her friend Sonakshi Sinha told her to drop by the mall they were shooting at for a quick chat.

Sania posted on her Twitter: "Spent the day wit Rajjo and Chulbul Pandey on sets of Dabangg2 today @sonakshisinha looking pretty as ever,u need to teach me how to pose:) ".

Dubai has been one of the most sought after shooting destination for the Hindi film industry. Recently Akshay Kumar along with his leading lady Asin was in the emirates to shoot a song for his next movie 'Khiladi 786'.

Sonu Nigam Sings For Mumbai Mirror!


Delhi heritage sites in Sachiin Joshi’s film

One of the songs in actor Sachiin Joshi's upcoming film, 'Mumbai Mirror', has been shot at a number of heritage sites in Delhi. Humayun's Tomb, Qutab Minar, Tughlaqabad Fort and Agrasen Ki Baoli form the backdrop for the romantic number 'Marjawa Main Tere Naal'.

Says Sachiin, "These monuments are an epitome of love and sync very well with the mood of the song. I know the Taj Mahal is the ideal monument of love, but I felt it has been exposed a lot in our films. So, we chose not to shoot there. It was creatively challenging to capture the architectural brilliance of these monuments." He adds, "The song is a dream sequence showing the bond between me and lead actress Vimala Raman. Written by lyricist Shabbir Ahmed, it has been composed by Amjad Nadeem and sung by Sonu Nigam."

About his role in the film, the actor reveals that he's playing a cop, Abhijeet, who falls for journalist Jia, played by Raman and, thus, begins their flight of fancy. "The plot revolves around the nexus between cops and dance bars in Mumbai," he concludes.
