New Delhi, August 25
Baba Sehgal is back. The original Indian rapper who made rapping a household name with his hit numbers like ‘Thanda Thanda Pani’, ‘Aaja Meri Gaadi Mein...’ and ‘Hakuna Matata’ is back in a new avatar.

After a hiatus of nearly a decade, Baba Sehgal today made a formal announcement at a press conference that he is very much in business.

Engineer turned rap singer, Harjit Singh Sehgal, popularly known as Baba Sehgal, carved a niche for himself with his whacky lyrics, wild sense of humour and earthy rhythms. Baba shot into limelight wth his album ‘Thanda Thanda Pani’ (1992) and ‘Main Bhi Madonna’ (1993). His other albums include ‘Baba Bachaona’ (1993), ‘Dr Dhingra’ (1994), ‘Indian Romya’ (1995), ‘Ms Loomba Loomba’ (1996) and ‘Lion King’ (1997) which had the superhit song ‘Hakuna Matata’.

After staying away from media glare for the last few years, Baba is all set to bounce back into action with new albums and television serials.

Armed with a new album, for which talks are at a conclusive stage with two leading music companies, Baba’s never-say-die attitude and whacky sense of humour was at its best display.

Stating that this was the age of remixes, he disclosed that his new albums would have remixes of his own old hits and also some new numbers that would redfine the meaning of ‘hip-hop’.

Baba Sehgal also announced a formal tie up with Delhi-based entertainment group Amigos Entertainment that will bring out yet another album with Baba very soon. In fact, the auditions to select the dancers for the album would be held in Delhi the coming weekend.

Amigos Entertainment has made its foray into the world of television with a new comedy serial on Sony called ‘Banke Bihari Superstar’.

He was also excited about the fact that he would be the lead character in Star Plus serial ‘Le Jayenge Le Jayenge’ while he has already been featured in the Star News’ programme ‘Saas Bahu Aur Saazish’.

Apart from this, Baba is also going to be anchoring ‘Sare Ga Ma Pa’ music show on Zee Punjabi which he hoped would give other similar programmes a run for their money.

The big announcement was about his forthcoming film ‘Thodi Masti Thodi Dhoom’ with Hrishita Bhatt, Sanjay Kapur and Sharad Saxena. Baba said that he is enjoying playing the role of the villain in the film for which shooting has already commenced and is being directed by Vicky Ranawat. He also talked about his recent Punjabi release ‘Nalayak’ which had been a box office grosser in the UK and USA
