Having signed Pawandeep Rajan – Indian Idol winner and Arunita Kanjilal – Indian Idol’s first runner-up followed by Shanmukha Priya – Netizen’s popular choice among others for a fun-filled musical series, Raj Surani helmed Octopus Entertainment hosted the Live musical teaser launch in Andheri.

The fun-filled musical fiesta saw the trio set the stage on fire holding the audience spellbound with stellar performances.

Pawandeep Rajan, whose win was announced late on Sunday night, believes that everyone deserved to win. His family was ecstatic to see him win and his mother was seen crying as he lifted his trophy! "I've only seen this on television and I still cannot believe it - I am living a dream," he said.

Raj Surani, the creative producer & director of the musical series added, “When I shot the video with all key contestants of Indian Idol, I loved Pawandeep, Arunita and Shanmukha Priya's voice and decided to create a musical series with the trio in an interesting avatar. The series will be shot in Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh.”

Pawandeep Rajan, Arunita Kanjial and Shanmukha Priya had already announced the live concert and the subsequent teaser launch on their official social media handles which was then re-posted on Raj Surani and Octopus Entertainment’s official pages.

Indian Idol runner-up Arunita Kanjilal is elated that this learning experience is living the dream of a lifetime. She averred, “I entered Indian Idol to learn and I have had an amazing time. Raj (Surani) sir, has been very kind and I want to leave an impact with the songs that we're creating."

Added Shanmukha Priya, "It was my childhood wish to be a part of Indian Idol. And during Indian Idol, we got the opportunity to actually work in the Maruti campaign, it was our first campaign, and truly inspirational to face the film camera. We were pampered by Raj (Surani) Sir and team. He encouraged and motivated us! I am truly looking forward to our musical series with Octopus Entertainment."

Averred Raj Surani, “Pawandeep's voice is pure and there is an inherent romantic in him that comes across through his singing. Arunita Kanjilal will soon be one of the most sought-after playback singers. Shankmukha Priya is a rockstar and a true performer.” Interestingly, while signing the trio a month ago, he was not worried about who the winner of Indian Idol was going to be before signing them. “I am going ahead with my music video soon after the season gets over,” he added, “All of them are great performers and all of them have a huge following even before they step into the world of music. I cannot resist but I truly feel the trio are the original Indian rockstars of today.”
