In an industry where there is a cut-throat competition in every sphere, it is heart-warming to see singers like Sonu Nigam, Alka Yagnik, Hema Sardesai and Asha Bhosle join hands and sing for Sanu's film Utthaan free of cost, as a gesture of camaraderie.
"I am overwhelmed by the love they showered on me. I only had to make a call and all of them offered to sing for my film, as an when I required them. They even refused to quote any remuneration for their endeavour. I am touched by their gesture," informs Sanu. "I had never imagined that my colleagues would be so kind and co-operative. Their action itself speaks volumes. They have become family for me now," Sanu adds.
According to singer Sonu Nigam, the music of the film starring Priyanshu Chatterjee and Neha Dhupia is superb.
"I respect Sanuda a lot. And money or no money, I will always stand by him," Sonu said when contacted.
