India Idol 9

Hyderabad-based L.V. Revanth — a popular name in the southern entertainment industry — overcame the language barrier to emerge the winner of popular singing reality show “Indian Idol 9” on Sunday in a musical finale filled with various melodious as well as humourous motifs.

Revanth, who has lent his voice for around 200 songs in southern films including “Baahubali: The Beginning”, became known for his soulful voice right from the start when he auditioned for the show. Despite not knowing Hindi, he sang Bollywood songs effortlessly throughout the season and defeated Hyderabad-based P.V.N.S. Rohit and Punjab’s Khuda Baksh in the finale to clinch the “Indian Idol” trophy along with a contract with Universal Music and Rs 25 lakh.

“Right now I am on cloud nine. I am very happy for winning the show. I would say that my life has just began right now. It’s not easy to win that title being a south Indian singer. I saw this show as a big opportunity. The four-month journey in this show has completely changed my life,” Revanth told IANS.

Ace choreographer-filmmaker Farah Khan, renowned singer Sonu Nigam and music composer Annu Malik, who kick-started the “Indian Idol” journey as judges in the first two editions, returned on the panel for the ninth season of the Sony Entertainment Television show, which was hosted by Karan Wahi and Paritosh Tripathi.

Being a known singer in Telugu and Kannada film industry, Revanth was the judges’ and audience’s favourite. As he said on the premiere episode itself, he joined “Indian Idol” to get recognition nationwide and debut in Bollywood.

Besides the outstanding and foot-tapping performances by the three finalists and the judges, the big highlight of the show was when legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar appeared for the world television premiere of his debut track “Cricket waali beat”, on which he has collaborated with Sonu Nigam.

Another interesting element on the show was when comedian Sunil Grover appeared in the avatars of Dr. Mashoor Gulati and Rinku Bhabhi and took viewers on a laughter ride. He has been in news for a while now after having a fight with ace comedian Kapil Sharma in a flight while returning from an event for “The Kapil Sharma Show”. Sunil was joined by comedienne Sugandha Mishra.

Earlier, “Indian Idol” worked as a platform for singers Abhijeet Sawant, Prashant Tamang, Sreeram Chandra and late Sandeep Acharya, who won the show in previous seasons and went on the make a name for themselves in the Indian music industry.

The finale episode also featured actors Boman Irani and Arshad Warsi, who appeared to promote their forthcoming show “Sabse Bada Kalakar”.

The show, which will feature Boman, Arshad and Raveena Tandon as judges, will start from April 8.

Crakers were burst to celebrate the occasion.  TDP, which was, badly hit by the cash-for-vote scam, in which Revanth Reddy was caught red-handed by Anti-corruption bureau team, wants to enthuse the party workers by turning the occasion of release of its MLA from jail into a spectacular event. Suddenly, the jail premises transformed into an arena for show of strength.
