Suraj Rosario is a high official on Sony TV. You know that Sony TV is broadcasting Indian Idol. Suraj Rosario is taking care of the Indian Idol contestants. He is not exactly a famous man. Actually, if you do a Google search with his name then you will find hardly any information about this man. Anyway, I could find an interview of Suraj Rosario in Merinews.
Here is an excerpt:
Professional matters aside, how thrilled are you personally about Indian Idol 3?
I am really looking forward to it. I think Indian Idol is a great platform. Unlike what people say that it is a shortcut to fame, I think it is more of an opening to your dreams.
has lot of talent, which often dies without recognition. Indian Idol does not make you a star; it only shows one the way forward by giving the recognition to individuals. India ………………………………..
After Indian Idol, not many of them made their mark in Bollywood. Was that the result of inability to handle the shortcut to fame or lack of talent?
I don’t think Indian Idol or any other such program is a shortcut to fame or an entry into Bollywood. Indian Idol opened up a whole new market of live performing artists, which is very huge in itself at international level. The number of concerts across the country definitely soared after such reality shows. As far as Bollywood is concerned, many of the finalists from Indian Idol sang for various movies. But in the changing market scenario where music directors themselves are singing their own composed songs, they might have to wait for being recognized as playback singers.
So, according to Suraj Rosario success in Indian Idol does not mean that it will open new doors for Bollywood right away.
