Sukhwinder to sing for Spielberg

- Sabi Hussain           Let us know what you think about this story

Known as 'Sukhie' among fans, he did the playback for Spike Lee's "Inside Man" in 2006.

"For the film I am recording a traditional folk Kutch song. I chose folk because it will stand out in the crowd. I refused to take any techno music because Hollywood is way ahead in it. We need to have our own flavour and make our mark with what is ours," the singer said.

"My 'Chhaiya Chhaiya' number became immensely popular with Hollywood filmmakers and they want to recreate the magic. There will be an original composition for this film," says the singer.

Sukhwinder is currently busy with Bollywood commitments and has just completed recording for Danny Boyle's Hindi film 'Slum Dog Millionaire' starring Irrfan Khan and Anil Kapoor, whose music has been scored by A R Rehman.

"The lyrics of the song are amazing. It is written by Gulzaar saab and the music is naturally peppy, the way all Rehman songs are. I loved singing 'Jai Ho' and I have sung the song so many times that eventually Rehman got really perplexed," says the singer.

Sukhwinder also plans to get into acting and is waiting for the right role. "I am waiting for a good role. I have some offers but I am waiting for a quality role," the Punjabi singer said.
