Crooner Sonu Nigam must be repenting the day he chose to don greasepaint and face the camera. Being a softie , he wasn`t prepared for the physical hard work that lay in store for him.

And when it was time to match steps with the choreographer, the warbler threw a fit," I can`t do this, please allow me to just lip sync." Though he has several music videos to his credit, the `typical running around the trees` seemed too taxing.But the director would have none of it and gave strict instructions to make the crooner do the filmi jig. But the singer turned actor made a laughing stock of himself when one of the co-actors patted him on his back for "singing his dialogues well in the dramatic moments of the film." All he could muster was a foxed ear-to-ear grin.

Acting is a different ball game altogether, Sonu. Wish you could be as effortless in emoting before the camera as you are while rendering a emotion- filled ditty!
