It had to happen one day or the other. Even as B-Town was placing its bets on the songstress Sunidhi Chauhan to be the first one to go international, it comes as a surprise to know that Bollywood's very own 'Chhaiya Chhaiya' man Sukhwinder Singh, who only recently Chak De'ed many a listener's heart with his chart-bursting songs in Chak De India and Om Shanti Om amongst others, will win this prestigious race.
This man is now all set to be the first to sing in a Hollywood film and has been signed by Universal Pictures. This film is being directed by Steven Spielberg, no less and will star Denzel Washington. Sukhwinder says that the Hollywood filmmakers wanted to recreate the magic of 'Chhaiya Chhaiya' which had become immensely popular in Hollywood. For this film however, he will be singing a traditional folk Kutchi song.
