Kailash Kher goes international

New Delhi, June 24: Singer Kailash Kher is all set to make his musical debut in Hollywood alongside Oscar-winner AR Rehman with the film `Couples Retreat` even as he gears up for the worldwide release of his third album `Kailaasa, Chaandan Mein`. The singer, who will also begin his first international tour later this year said that he is excited about performing at coveted platforms like the Hollywood Ball in Los Angeles.

"I have been invited to perform at the Hollywood Ball and at the San Francisco and Brooklyn music festivals," Kher who was in the city to promote his third album said in an interview. The 33-year-old musician has sung in the `Couples Retreat` which is Rahman`s first international project after `Slumdog Millionaire` and stars Hollywood A-listers like Vince Vaughn and Jason Bateman. "I have sung a `tarana` in the film for Rahman and working with him is always a unique experience," said the singer while adding that he is open to other offers from the west but will only accept work of quality. "I will not accept a project just because it is coming from the west. It should be interesting work that gives me creative satisfaction," said the artiste. Kher said that the deal for his third album`s global release fell into place after a successful show in New York. IANS
