Sonu Nigam's magical voice left a mark on the hoi poloi the moment he breezed onto the small screen with TVS Sa Re
Ga Ma. The talented singer has ever since moved from strength to strength as a singer, and has today managed to
carve a niche for himself in the industry with his romantic voice, so much so that music directors from A R Rehman (Dil
Se) to Anu Malik (Refugee) and the happening Ismail Darbar (Tera Jadoo Chal Gaya) reserve that one exclusive number for
Sonu's velvet voice.
Few people know that Sonu, who's also made his mark bigtime as an Indipop singer, started out his career as a child
artist, playing the young Sunny Deol in Betaab, way back in 1984. And now that Sonu is all set to face the camera once again, this time as a fullgrown hero, the industry is excited. For starts, a lot of pundits point out Sonu is the first star material in a long time who has the potential to do justice both as an actor and a singer. In fact, not since the legendary K L Saigal has Bollywood had a true blue actor-singer of some stature. Sonu, who signed his first film as a hero sometime ago, is also excited about his acting career. He is looking forward to working with the best directors and is gunning to act opposite all the topnotch actresses in Bollywood, from Aishwarya Rai to Karisma Kapoor, from Tabu to Kareena Kapoor. And if the spontaneity he revealed as the anchor of Sa Re Ga Ma is any indication, the good-looking Sonu shouldn't have any trouble setting the big screen on fire too.
