In my career, I have used at least 30 singers from reality shows to sing for films and they have become immensely successful. So, I believe that meeting new talent is the biggest opportunity for a composer and its a great feeling to be able to enjoy and groom their them further. My only advice to all the young musicians would be to create your own niche in singing while using aspects from the maestros because I will be looking for a person who is not only a singer but also a contributor to the song".Adding further on sharing the judges throne with Himesh and Vishal, Shankar Mahadevan said, "I have judged a show with Himesh in the year 2009 and after more than a decade, we are coming back together to judge this show.
