New Delhi, Aug 3 : Popular Punjabi singer
Mika
says he is set to feature in a film titled "Balwinder Singh Famous Ho
Gaye", which will also star singer
Shaan.
"My friend Sunil
Agnihotri (director) is making a film in which he had cast
Shaan. Later,
(production banner) T-series said 'If you club
Shaan and
Mika, it would
be great.' So we are doing a movie,"
Mika told IANS.
"I am happy that someone thought that I can work in their film. The name of the film is very funny," he added.
Mika and
Shaan's style of singing is as different as chalk and cheese.
The two have so far never sung any number together, but will be
collaborating on a song in this movie.
"
Shaan was laughing about
the fact that we are friends since so many years, but we have never sung
a song together. We thought do we need to do a movie in order to sing
together," he said with a bout of laughter.
However,
Shaan and
Mika shared the stage together in singing reality show "Music Ka Maha
Muqqabla" in 2009.
Mika says they will be seen on the big screen by the
end of this year or early next year.
For now, he is busy judging channel Life OK's stand-up reality show "Laugh India Laugh".
Mika
is a known name in the world of music, and has scored chartbusters like
"Mauja hi mauja", "Subah hone na de", "Pungi" and "Desi beat". He feels
the new breed of aspiring singers is too confident. He advises them it
is important to understand that talent and business are two different
things.
"The problem is that newcomers are too confident and they
don't want to search for a path. Talent and business are two different
things. You might have talent but you should know how to sell it as
well. They practice a song and sing it but people don't know who the
singer is," he said.
The 28-year-old feels newcomers should be clear about what they want and not get distracted.
"It
is very important for newcomers to know what they want. It is
popularity plus money. They get distracted and think that they will get
busy. They should just go for things which give them popularity," he
said.
