Sukhwinder Singh and Kailash Kher pitch in with their songs for CWG

Seems like after the AR Rahman tragedy, as far as the anthem for the Common Wealth Games goes, many from the Bollywood singing fraternity are ready to pitch in to make this event a grand one. The first to be approached is Sukhwinder Singh who has given some real gems to Bollywood. Sukhwinder has now been approached to sing his most popular song ‘Kawa Kawa’ from Monsoon Wedding for the closing ceremony of the Common Wealth Games. AR Rahman is also performing the Oscar winning ‘Jai Ho’ for the opening ceremony of the Games.

But with such negativity surrounding the games, Kailash Kher made it a mission to fuse some positive energy. Along with Naresh and Paresh Kamath (the members of his band Kailasa), Kailash composed a song called ‘Yaaron Jashn Manao’ appealing to the people of India to celebrate the Games, rather than condemn it. The song was supposed to be gifted by the singer to Chief Minister of Delhi, Sheila Dixit in a concert on September 25, but because of the rains it wasn’t possible. But the song will be available on artistaloud.com from today onwards for download.

Bollywood Star To Sing On Mumbai Attacks Tribute:Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan is to lend his voice to a song commemorating those who died in last year’s Islamist militant attacks on Mumbai, a report said Wednesday.

The actor, who has attained megastar status in his 40-year career in the Hindi-language film industry, said the song would be “on the spirit of Mumbai, its resilience and its character of being able to withstand all storms”.

“You may try to damage us, but you will never succeed in bending or breaking us,” the 67-year-old was quoted as saying by the Daily News and Analysis newspaper.

The city’s police, which lost a number of senior officers in the November 26-29 attacks, approached singer Sonu Niigaam to compose a “soulful” song that remembers the 166 people who were killed in the 60-hour siege.

“We all think it’s a lovely concept and wanted to do our bit for the cause,” Niigaam told the daily, adding that it was an honor having Bachchan involved.

About 14 other popular singers will contribute to the song, including Hariharan, Shaan and Kailash Kher, the newspaper said.
