Shekhar Suman's career seems to be zooming. After he launched his first music album Kuch Khwab Aise, he has signed a film, One Fine Monday, in which he will not only act but also do playback singing. This is a first for Shekhar. The lyrics for the song, titled Shamrao Sawant, have been written by Manu Chaubey. Music has become an integral part of the actor's life as he is also a contestant at SaharaOne's Jjhoom India.

The film which stars Shekhar Suman, Gauri Karnik, Raj Zutsi and Tanaaz Lal was shot in 17 days flat in Mumbai. It revolves around a Don, played by Shekhar, and how one fine day when he decides to throw away everything and reform, but the society doesn't let him do so.

Says Shekhar, "Yes, for the first time I will be doing playback singing for a film. I play a don in this film and it's got black humour. The song is a very 'don-nish- number full of tapori sentiments. I am now trying to understand the pitch, sur and rehearsing a lot, and taking inputs from my friends from the music industry. The music director of the film thought I was the right person to sing this song in the film."

Shekhar is keeping his fingers crossed about his new endeavour. He says, "I hope this new journey of mine turns me into a professional singer, I'm very excited and looking forward to it."

The song will be recorded on November 10. One Fine Monday is directed by Manu Chaube, and is scheduled to release in January 2008.
