Raghav In Bollywood?

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Raghav is a talented young artist, whose work since he was a child truly paid off. His first 2004 album, "Storyteller" was loved by many and really solidified his fan base, not only in North America, but also in India and beyond.  The question is what is next for Raghav Mathur? His fans anticipate the release of his next album, 'Identity', but will this album take his career to the next level? Or will it keep him where he is at? 

Raghav has a great ability to meld Hindi with his English songs, and I as well as many other fans dig his entirely Hindi tunes as well.  His recent video "Humrahee" left many in tears, some out of joy and others from the beautiful imagery he was able to create. It made me wonder if maybe the vocalist should go Bollywood to pursue a career as a playback singer? The fact that Raghav can sing so beautifully in Hindi will definitely be a bonus for him in Bollywood. Also singers like Atif Aslam careers flourished as they got involved with projects in Bollywood. Although Atif Aslam and Raghav are very different they both can sing beautifully in Hindi and they share a few similarities in appeal.So maybe Raghav should try his luck in Bollywood to? 

Although Raghav has done some great things he hasn't made the major moves that some urban desi artist have. Raghav has definitely got the potential to turn into a superstar. His career has not flourished as predicted. So maybe Bollywood is the answer? Urban Desi artist have been doing quite a bit in Bollywood and we all know that working in Bollywood can open the doors for many other opportunities. So should Raghav go Bollywood? I think so but share your thoughts. Also which Bollywood actor would Raghav's voice match?

should raghav go bollywood?

I love Raghav music and I think Bollywood would be a great place for him. He's got the image and sound for it! Bollywood opens up so many different avenues for people! I think he should entertain doing it!

Raghav would do birlliantly as a bollywood playback singer, but that's not where he belongs..If all goes as planned this year...Raghav could return with an amazing career..I think maybe DesiHits should get him on a show to find out what his intentions are...but as far as I'm concerned there are many true fans of his out there that await his return...of course it would be great if he did do a few bollywood tracks, but I don't think we should label him as out of the mainstream yet...Also, Raghav has said that he's received numerous Bollywood offers but the circumstances weren't appropriate at those times...a few have come up since...who knows...he might be acheiving double the success this time next year...but I would like to say to anyone who once loved Raghav's music...don't lose hope because he will return...x

I think its a great idea, if only Raghav had a good management team that could move things on abit quicker!!! Its like watching paint dry these days, in fact....its slower than that!
