The stage of Indian Idol Season 15 is set to celebrate the success of Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna’s blockbuster film Animal, marking one year since its release. To commemorate this milestone, the film’s director Sandeep Reddy Vanga and renowned singer Vishal Mishra will appear on the popular singing reality show. Vishal Mishra, who lent his voice to the hit song “Pehle Bhi Hum,” will be a special guest alongside Vanga. The song, which has garnered over 260 million views, was a massive success, resonating deeply with audiences.
Interestingly, Vishal Mishra once auditioned for Indian Idol but was rejected, a fact that surprises many given his current stature as a celebrated singer. Sony TV announced this special episode through their social media, stating, “This weekend, Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Vishal Mishra will join Indian Idol to celebrate one year of the blockbuster movie Animal.” They described Vanga as an “exceptional director” and Mishra as a “star singer.” Mishra’s soulful voice in “Pehle Bhi Hum” captivated fans, making it one of the standout tracks of the film.
