Lucky Ali is quiet, a man of few words, almost reticent. Not an unabashed self-promoter like say Shahrukh or Hrithik. I don't think we'd see him endorsing a cola drink. He has his own view of life and does his own thing. Right now his thing is Sur - his debut movie, in which he plays the part of a music teacher.
We caught up with Lucky Ali and asked him to tell us a little bit about his new safar in life.

Just like his dad Mehmood, did Lucky always want to get into acting? Does he take it seriously, or is music his first love?
Lucky says, "Well, it's not acting or music, I'm just serious about whatever I'm doing. For now it's acting."

Sur is the story of Vikramaditya Singh. A middle-aged musician who runs India's most sought after music school. And it is about his search to find someone who will carry on his work.
And of course Lucky sings the songs in the movie. Right now you can catch the music video of Sur on MTV. And if you want to watch the movie, it releases on July 5th.

So now that Lucky has jumped onto the Bollywood bandwagon, will we see him dancing around trees and thrusting his pelvic like Salman or Chi Chi?
Lucky quickly replies, "Do I look like a Salman or a Govinda? I basically do what my heart wants and not what the audience expects."
Cool and more power to you, we say.

Apart from singing and acting, Lucky has bred horses, sold carpets, and worked in an oilrig. He shrugs this unconventional lifestyle by saying, "it's just a varied experience," that's it.
The man shuttles his time between New zealand and his farmhouse in Bangalore.

When asked to give more gyaan about life and his inspirations, Lucky doesn't go into some major fundas, all he says is "I'm inspired by life in general and I don't really follow people."

He is currently working on his 4th album, and while he does admit to having a penchant for ballads, fans can expect a typical Lucky Ali album - no pretensions, no artificial flavours.
His music tugs at the heartstrings, let's hope his movie does the same.

While Lucky is no fizzy drink, if one had to sum up his personality, the words "All Taste, No Gyaan", come to mind.
