in bollywood parlance sukhwinder singh is said to be a cult figure who has collected awards by the dozens if his chaiyya chaiyya chak de or haule haule went on to become a rage and brought him desi accolades it was his jai ho that finally broke all barriers and won a grammy and also an oscar for the composer a r rahman but this elusive singer with sufi leanings has always believed in exploring new dimensions of his personality as he gears up to don the greasepaint for the second time for ram gopal varmas rakta charitra sukhwinder takes a break from doing laadi pyaari to his six lhasaterrier pups and speaks to nt dil sereality checksometime back the singer had made his acting debut in kuch kariye which couldnt create magic at the bo so whys he hobnobbing with 70mm screen yet again ask him this and he replies with great asperity those who could see kuch kariye by mistake actually sent me bouquets i was appalled that the film wasnt even released in so many cities nor were any posters put up due to rotten policies of multiplexes but now the film will be released in single screens ramu jis film rakta charitra is different its an interesting and realistic portrayal but im not allowed to speak about it im doing it because it touched my inner corebusy with less worklooking at his repertoire its obvious that sukhi has mostly worked with a select group of filmmakers lyricists and composers ask him why this partiality and he says with a laugh since i find it difficult to say no to people i just ask them can we sit down and work on the songs do you have the time and they are quite embarrassed whereas people like vishal bhardwaj or gulzar saab always say aaja hum wele hain the reason is that they are also very busy with less work just like me so that mutual tuning worksbeyond negativityspeaking of tuning sukhis best songs were composed by a r rahman but there were reports of differences cropping up between the two when rahman didnt take him for the oscars and even grammy to this he says success is a celebration which has to be cherished i believe others success should also reflect on your face and ive learnt one thing if someone who has always done his best for you suddenly starts scolding you or behaves badly try to remember the good things that he had earlier done for you but when the two met after the controversy wasnt there negativity in the air not at all in fact i asked rahman wheres my biryani and both of us sat down and ate a hearty meal we did raavan after that and will soon work on another project too rahman is a living saint who cant do anything negative but theres a virus in his hermitage which is not from the musical world if that
