Sonu Niigaam makes a comeback on the big screen

Singer Sonu Niigaam is no stranger to the camera. After making music videos, a few stints on the big screen and his successful run on television, the singer is now exploring a new first — appearing in a music video for the upcoming film 1920: Evil Returns. “I have never done a music video for an original soundtrack of a film. And here, I appear as myself. It was pretty exciting,” says the singer.

What made it interesting for Sonu was the fact that it brought fans together. “As singers, we have our own fan-following along with that of the actors. When we do a music video together, the fan bases merge and it becomes a fabulous experience,” explains Sonu. The response from the fans has been overwhelming with audience at almost every public event requesting Sonu to sing Ajnabee, he says. The video was shot about three months ago and when Sonu returned from the US, it was ready to roll.

The singer has been keeping busy with many things, he confesses. “I keep myself busy. There’s so much to do. Making music, spending time with parents and my son. Life is quite busy,” he smiles. Sonu has now started making music and says, “I am is busy making tunes, and I also arrange the music all by myself, so I manage to be on my toes.”
