Sunny Hindustani, the shoeshine boy from Bathinda in Punjab, bagged Bollywood projects even before he was announced the winner of "Indian Idol 11". During the course of the singing reality show, his choice of songs were mostly the ones sung by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The "bhakt" (devotee) of the late legendary Sufi vocalist-musician would like to take a step forward, if he gets the chance, and give a fresh twist to Khan's songs in films, too.

Many drew comparisons between him and the late singer when he participated in the recently concluded show. Sunny modestly underplays such talk, and insists he is "nothing" in comparison.
