Mumbai: Composer-singer Himesh Reshammiya has turned mentor for the Indian contestants on music reality show 'Sur Kshetra' and compares the excitement with a cricket match between India and Pakistan.
'Sur Kshetra' has two teams - one mentored by Reshammiya, while the Pakistani team has Atif Aslam as its guru. Indian singing legend Asha Bhosle, popular Bangladeshi crooner Runa Laila and acclaimed Pakistani Sufi singer Abida Parveen are the judges on the show.
