Not so long ago, Naresh Iyer was just one among the 25,000 aspirants queuing up for Channel V’s talent hunt show, Super Singer.

Now, thousands are rocking to his voice, thanks to Roobaroo and Paathshala, two of the three songs from the hit movie Rang De Basanti that he has lent his voice to.

The 25-year-old from Matunga in Mumbai sang his way to the 25 final Super Singer contestants. And when he stood face to face with ace music composer A R Rahman and popular singer Adnan Sami — the judges for the show – he had no idea that his future was about to be decided.
