Indian Idol' runner-up Karunya has bagged his first professional singing assignment in Vidhu Vinod Chopra's 'Munnabhai' 2nd Innings. Highly impressed with his vocal skills, producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra got the talented and versatile singer to record a track 'Aane Char Aane' for his forthcoming comic caper. The track will be picturized on Munnabhai himself, Sanjay Dutt.

With lyrics by Swanand Kirkire and music by Shantanu Moitra, 'Aane Char Aane' was recorded by Karunya at Media Mind Studio in Mumbai. Vidhu Vinod Chopra and director Rajkumar Hirani too were present at the recording. Vinod thought Karunya being a new singer, will probably take the entire day to sing the song, but he finished in fifteen minutes flat.

Vinod discovered Karunya in a rather interesting way. He was in Los Angeles, writing his next script. His sister, Shelly, who was visiting, burst into the room in tears. Vinod thought something dreadful had happened. But Shelly was crying because she had just found out that Karunya had not become the 'Indian Idol'. Vinod had no idea who Karunya was, but found out as soon as he returned.

The film's music composer Shantanu Moitra did his voice test and soon Karunya got the famous 'Jadoo ki Jhappi' from Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani. The light-hearted comedy, starring Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi, is slated for release on August 25.
