It is certainly history-making. Snoop is a legend and together, we have created a never before seen or heard Punjabi and hip hop music track and video. I believe we Indians love our bhangra music and younger generations love hip hop. Even my son loves hip hop. So what better than to give audiences a taste of the new generation?

Through Singh is Kinng, India has gone global.

Is rap your favourite genre?

I have been a huge fan of rap, R 'n' B and hip hop for decades. Being a Punjabi, I have loved bhangra more than anything else, and couldn't wait to create some masti and fusion. We've got to make sure we keep offering our fans something new and spicy. I am touched by the song's impact, judging from the reactions at the Unforgettable show in Toronto and the sales of the CDs.

What was it like recording the song with Snoop Dogg?

It was 'sizzle of all sizzles,' believe me. He's so cool and down-to-earth. He's a family guy. He brought his uncle on the sets to cook his famous southern fried chicken for us.

Snoop is a legend in his own right. When he saw me dressed in my sherwani and turban, he kept saying, 'I wanna look like my brother Akshay.' It was a memorable moment in my life.
