Sonu Nigam recalls he ‘beautifully’ sang Subhanallah but Pritam picked Sreerama Chandra over him, reveals his reaction
After being snubbed by Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, singer Sonu Nigam has opened up about why he decided to work with music director Pritam again. In a new interview, Sonu talks about the “trend” of having several artists audition for the same song and then choosing one. The 48-year-old singer also revealed that singer Sreerama Chandra was chosen to voice the song Subhanallah.
Sonu Nigam deserves credit for having thousands of songs in multiple languages. Subhanallah was eventually sung by Sreerama Chandra as part of the 2013 film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. Pritam is the film’s musical director. Sreerama Chandra won season 5 of Indian Idol. By the way, Sonu was a judge on seasons 1, 2 and 9 of the reality show.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Sonu talked about his phone call with Pritam a few months ago asking him to join Aamir Khan-starrer Laal Singh Chaddha. He said: “Pritam, he said it very well, ‘Sonu, you are special to me. I have a very special connection with you because you sang in my debut. You were part of my debut. I am very Respect for you. I don’t want, what happens now is that a song is sung by multiple people and a song is chosen from there. Now, it’s a trend, but I don’t want to be a part of it. Pritam also told me Same thing, “that’s why I ask you to be part of a song that won’t be sung by any other singer”. It’s Amir’s decision that “Sonu Nigam will sing this song”. So since both producers and stars say so now it won’t be ‘let Sonu sing this song too and compare’.”
“So Pritam spoke to me kindly and I really respect that. He said I’m not going to tell you to sing for a track I know will be performed by eight other singers. What if your song doesn’t become part of the movie Do! Because I sang the song Subhanallah, which was Pritam’s last song. When the song in my voice didn’t hold, I told Pritam: “Don’t tell me again”. As far as I know, I sang this song beautifully. But the song was Sreerama Chandra’s destiny, so he got it. It’s okay. I don’t mind someone singing it. I didn’t ask, did I say, ‘Give me this song? Go on’ Call me? Keep working with me? No, I don’t want to.”
Sonu works mainly in Hindi and Kannada films, and also in Odia, Bengali, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Nepali, Marathi Singing repertoire in Aramaic, Kannada, Bhojpuri and other Indian languages.
