Sonu Nigam does not believe in star power

Singer Sonu Nigam, who has lent his voice to a newcomer Tanuj Veervani
for Luv U Soniyo , says only the song and credibility of the composer
matters to him,
not the actor on whom the song would be
filmed.

Tanuj is actress Rati Agnihotri's son, who
is making his debut with the film, being
directed by Joe Rajan.

"When I sang in Mast, at that time Aftab Shivdasani was also a new-comer and all
the songs were hit. So you cannot judge a
song's success by its star-cast," said the
singer in an interview here.

He added that he gives importance to
"song and music composer's credibility".

"Today songs are recorded in a hurry as
there are several deadlines to meet. There
has to be a catchy word in every song,
which is repeated again and again. A hook
word has become very important. Songs
that are made today are not long-lasting," said Sonu.

Luv U Soniyo is set to release July 26 and features Neha Hinge in the
female lead.
