Sukhwinder for best singer
Sukhwinder wanted to take this award from AR Rahman and so he called him up on the stage to take the award from his hand. Sukhwinder also said, “I have performed all over the world, I would like to request the jury members that please give me an opportunity to perform at the Filmfare Awards.”
Jodhaa Akbar has 17 nominations Ashutosh Gowariker has just arrived. He says, “Jodhaa Akbar has 17 nominations. I wish we get all the awards.” When asked about the anchors and fun on stage he said, “I am looking forward to the award as this is people’s choice award. I am looking forward to fun too. I already have two Filmfare trophies and I wish to add some more to the collection.”

A R Rahman AR Rahman says, “I have won an Oscar but Filmfare is Asia’s biggest award function so I am here. My wife couldn’t come as she is taking care of the kids back in Chennai.” Slumdog Millionaire cast and crew has come at the award function minus Dev Patel, Freida Pinto and Danny Boyle. They are here to cheer for AR Rahman.
Shankar, Ehsaan Loy come in...
They are the men in black for tonight, sporting glares to go with their all-black attire. And just where is Shankar Mahadevan? "Oh, he's at some gig somewhere," they tell us. Nominated for 'Music Direction' for 'Rock On!!', Loy says, "The music in the film is not conventional. It's niche. But let's see what happens tonight. A few surprises will be good." Their toughest competitor? "Well, everybody's a good bet. But with Rahman having brought the Oscar home, he's the favourite of course, we assume he'll win. And he's genuinely a great professional and good human being. So as long as someone good wins, we really don't mind!" So is this musical duo going to be wearing their glares even in the auditorium? "That depends, if the sun goes down on us, we'll just remove them," they laugh.
