I am glad and fortunate that I found her. She is talented, dedicated and hard-working and she has a long way to go!"

'Chale Aao' is based on a heart-wrenching love story and revolves around a young girl reminiscing about her lost love. The track is themed on, ‘Sometimes all you need is a second chance’ in love. The romantic number features actors, Nandish Singh Sandhu and Charlie Chauhan. The romantic number is composed by Palaash, who has also conceptualised and directed the music video. The Hindi-English lyrics of the track are penned by Palaash and Anmol Malik. 'Chale Aao' was unveiled on Dussehra on October 25.

“I wept bitterly when Kamal Haasanji cut my role”, says Nawazuddin Siddiqui

Recalling his days of struggle Nawazuddin Siddiqui says, “There were many incidents when I did small roles and then the role was edited out. But the one incident that stays with me involves one of my idols Kamal Haasan. I was his Hindi dialogue coach on his film Hey Ram (2000) which he directed and also played the lead. When Kamalji offered me a small role in Hey Ram I was as excited as a child. He is one of my idols alongside Dilip Kumar, Naseeruddin Shah, Anthony Hopkins and Denzel Washington. I’ve seen each and every film of theirs repeatedly.”

The supposedly small role that Kamalji offered Nawaz turned out to be not so small. “It was actually a substantial role. I was supposed to be this victim of a mob attack whom Kamalji rescues. I was excited about this opportunity to share screen space with my idol.”

When the role was deleted Nawaz was heartbroken. “I wept bitterly. I remember Kamalji’s daughter Shruti consoling me. Though Kamalji cut my role there was no ill will whatsoever in my heart. How could I be resentful? Kamalji is such a complete artiste with his knowledge stretching far beyond. Unka toh mujhe naam bhil lene mein hichkichaahat hoti hai (I hesitate to even say his name).”

Nawaz was back with Kamal Haasan in the latter’s Abhay (Aalavandhan in Tamil). “This time I was only his Hindi voice coach. No role was offered to me. I wait for the day when Kamalji offers me another role.”

After the untimely and unfortunate demise of Syska’s first ever brand ambassador Irrfan Khan, the company was on a lookout for a dynamic and well-loved brand ambassador who is as homegrown and authentic as the brand Syska. Rao, made his debut in the Indian film industry and achieved nationwide recognition for his flawless performances. Similarly, Syska, has grown manifolds to become the pioneer of LED lighting in the country, within a short period of time. The parallel between the two, found the actor the perfect fit to endorse the brand.

It is a pioneering company whose story is truly inspiring and which I relate to easily. Syska has created a niche category which is good for the country and has been making great strides in successfully convincing users to switch from traditional CFL to LED lights. I believe this is a very confident stance to take, and to me it conveys that you must always work hard and give your hundred percent in order to stay light years ahead of the competition. As a customer, this acts as a promise that we can always look forward to the best from Syska.”

The partnership will also see Syska Group launch a new ad campaign with Rajkummar focusing on LED and Fans, highlighting the many accolades that the brand has earned over the years. The campaign will begin shortly and will be executed strategically through leading TV channels in GEC and News genres in order to reach the masses across Metro, tier-2 and tier-3 cities.
