His song, composed by Salim-sulaiman, is playing at the Olympics; video stars Big B, SRK
■
Amonth ago, Sukhwinder Singh recorded a motivational song for the Olympics, ‘Iss baar Tiranga London mein phehraigi’ (This time the tri-colour will fly high in London) and was gratified to see it come true when shooter Gagan Narang bagged a bronze. “I’m sure we will win at least 10 medals in various sports,” says the composer-singer, adding that he’d like to salute the passion of these athletes, along with their performances. “Abhinav Bindra is a hero even though he couldn’t defend his Beijing gold.”
He says that the song, composed by Salim-Sulaiman for Sahara,
along with the video that boasts of Bollywood stars like Amitabh
Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, is playing in London, boosting the morale
of the Indian athletes.
“I’m glad that after ‘Chak de India’, Salim-Sulaiman thought of me for this song because I’m an athlete myself with a 12.68 seconds record in 100 metres,” says Sukhwinder, hours before leaving for a concert tour in Australia and New Zealand with a special song against racial attacks on ‘friendly’ Indians in Oz.
On the subject of sports, he says that he’s done around seven
shows for free, but the money hasn’t gone to the athletes. “Next time,
I’ll get the media involved so the money goes where it’s needed.”
