It seems as if Indian Idol 11 contestant Sunny Hindustani is on a roll. After singing a song for actor Emraan Hashmi, he got roped in to sing a song for Rajkumar Santoshi’s film. And now Kishor Kumar’s son Amit Kumar is showing him a promising road ahead.
Yes, Amit Kumar was present on the sets of Indian Idol 11 for an episode and Sunny’s singing appealed to him so much that he signed him Hindustani to sing the first song of his soon-to-be-unveiled sound studio in the city.
Amit’s new music studio is set to be opened in 200 and for it’s first song, Sunny will now be lending his voice. This weekend, the ongoing season of “Indian Idol” pays tribute to Kishore Kumar and contestants will sing songs of the late playback sensation. Kishore Kumar’s wife Leena Chandravarkar will be the guest of honor along with sons Amit and Sumit Kumar.
In the episode, Sunny performs Kishore Kumar’s unforgettable number “Mere naina saawan bhado” from Shakti Samanta’s 1976 release “Mehbooba”, starring Rajesh Khanna and Hema Malini.
