Sonu Nigam says love for Param Sundari song Pardesiya is ‘good fortune': ‘I do not sing for just anybody or anyone'
What Sonu said
Talking about Pardesiya, Sonu said, 'It's a matter of good fortune that Pardesiya came to me. I've been working hard on my craft and that is why the universe is opening up beautiful opportunities for me.'
'I don't get average songs anyway'
He went on to add, "I do not sing for just anybody or anyone," Sonu claims. 'But because of my bonding with so many companies, artists and composers, it's sometimes difficult to say no to them, even when you see the project might not be of the highest order. A good song is a good song, and thankfully people come to me when they have something good in hands and they value my contribution. I don't get average songs anyway, so I don't have to make an effort to choose too much. Good songs come my way.'
Sonu is a National Award-winning singer who has given several iconic songs in the course of his decades-long career. Some of his best known songs are Suraj Hua Maddham, Kal Ho Na Ho, Main Agar Kahoon, Abhi Mujh Mein Kahin to name a few.
Param Sundari is a cross-cultural romance starring Sidharth as Param and Janhvi as Sundari- with the two falling in love even as chaos erupts in the family because of their decision. Produced by Dinesh Vijan, it is set to release on August 29.

AR Rahman finds more creative freedom in Tamil cinema than Hindi films, says Ranjit Barot: ‘It's a shame Bollywood doesn't make more use of his genius'
AR Rahman's long-time collaborator and celebrated musician Ranjit Barot has shed light on the Oscar-winning composer's extraordinary dedication and how it has propelled him to the top of the music world. In a recent interview, Barot stressed that while Rahman is undoubtedly blessed, his success is primarily the result of tireless effort. He explained that people often attribute Rahman's achievements to divine blessing, but to him, blessing means recognising a gift and then working on it with complete commitment. 'We're all blessed in some way,' Barot told O2India, adding that Rahman has been working almost 24/7 for the last 40 years, a level of discipline that truly defines what it means to be blessed. He also recalled how destiny played its part when Ilaiyaraaja turned down Roja, giving Rahman the opportunity to step in, but insisted that 'the rest is all his hard work.' Ranjit Barot on AR Rahman's genius Barot also reflected on how the Hindi film industry may not be giving Rahman the same creative freedom he once enjoyed. While he acknowledged Rahman's Chennai roots, he pointed out that the composer's repertoire spans much more than just Carnatic music — from Sufi and ghazals to North Indian classical influences. In his view, it's a shame that Bollywood doesn't fully tap into Rahman's genius, remarking that 'in Chennai, they allow him to be who he is, and he's happy with it. ' AR Rahman opens up on dealing with suicidal thoughts; recalls how mother's advice helped him Recently, Rahman composed music for the blockbuster Chhava and Mani Ratnam 's Thug Life. While Chhava emerged as one of the highest-grossing films of the year, Thug Life struggled at the box office.

Wrexham Smashes Its Transfer Record By Signing Nathan Broadhead In A Deal Worth Up To...
Wrexham's spending moved into a new stratosphere Thursday when the team owned by Hollywood celebrities signed winger Nathan Broadhead from Ipswich in a club-record deal that could reportedly reach 10 million pounds ($13.50 million). It took the Welsh club's outlay in the transfer market to more than 20 million pounds ($27 million) in this window as Wrexham reshapes its squad for life in the second-tier Championship following an unprecedented three straight promotions. The 27-year-old Wales international is a former Wrexham academy player and a versatile forward who was a fringe player at Ipswich in the Premier League last season. "He's a local boy who had a real desire to come and play for his hometown club," Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson said in the team's announcement. Among Wrexham's other signings over the last couple of months is former England defender Conor Coady and New Zealand international Liberato Cacace. Lewis O'Brien also joined from Nottingham Forest for what was reportedly a club-record fee of around 3 million pounds ($4 million). Wrexham, which started its Championship campaign last weekend with a 2-1 loss at Southampton after conceding two late goals, is owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney and has gained outside investment via the New York-based Allyn family. It is also the subject of the Emmy-winning "Welcome to Wrexham" documentary, which takes viewers behind the scenes at the club and has boosted the team's global appeal primarily because of the presence of Reynolds.
