Kapil to sing for AR Rahman

After hosting Bollywood A-listers, from Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan to Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, Kapil Sharma recently had an elusive guest on an upcoming episode of his TV show. When AR Rahman turned up on The Kapil Sharma Show, the maestro belted out some of his hits on popular demand, and having heard about the comedianactor's singing prowess, asked him to croon something. Initially reluctant, it took a little bit of egging on to have Kapil burst into a Punjabi folk song, "Heer". "The Mozart of Madras was impressed and promised to work with Kapil on an assignment soon," a source from the sets informed Mirror.

After lending his voice to a song for his big screen debut, Kis Kisko Pyar Karun, Kapil has been keeping his playback track up-to-date too. In February this year, he recorded a soulful number, "Akhiyan De Taare" for the Punjabi film, Love Punjab. After the unexpected offer from Rahman, an elated Kapil said, "I love singing and am truly humbled that a maestro like Rahman appreciated my vocal skills. It was very sweet of him to offer me a song."

Wonder if a chance appearance by a leading filmmaker next will get Kapil a Bollywood biggie too!
