Sonu sang without a hiccup

Akbar Sami is one of India’s pioneering DJs.

So it definitely wasn’t a surprise when he became a full-fledged composer, with two contributions to the soundtrack of the 2007 film Risk.

This blog contains a post on just one of those – Hichki, which was four-and-a-half minutes long.

The track, which had a Maharashtrian flavour, was penned by Amitabh Verma.

It was rendered by Sonu Kakkar, the older sister of fellow singers Neha and Tony Kakkar.

Although the track translates to, “Hiccup”, it was pretty popular.

Its remixed version was five seconds longer than the original.
