You can love him, you can hate him but you cannot ignore him. Rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh is the flavour of the season with chartbusters like Angreji Beat Re and Lungi Dance to his credit

CS caught up with him for a short chat.

A fruitful wait
There is a buzz that I will be singing in Marathi during my tour of Maharashtra. But let me clarify that I am a perfect cook, I don't like to serve my dish half cooked. I am still learning Marathiand will sing a song only when I am fully ready with my product..

Celebrating success
It's too early to celebrate my success. I think I have achieved only a small percentage of what I plan to attain. I believe in doing hard work and simply concentrating on that. But I won't deny that the response I have got for my songs is overwhelming. It's a celebration when my songs are a hit especially Blue Eyes, which has crossed 15 million hits.

A solo act Vs collaboration
I am an artist and I love to explore opportunities and learn new and different things. Whether I have to perform solo or not, I only concentrate on delivering the best. If I am ready and want to explore more things, I am also ready to be explored by others.

An acting debut
I am doing a Hindi film for my dear friend Himesh (Reshammiya). I cannot divulge much at this stage. Its an interesting role and will be a whole new experience for me. I am going to start shooting for the film in January.Besides that, I am gearing up for my Tamil debut with 'Kolaveri Di' producer Anirudh Ravichander, I am also doing some international and Arabic collaborations.
