Guy Sebastian launches movie career as he scores major role - with audiences declaring The Voice judge is the 'best actor in the film'

As a dedicated follower and ardent fan of Guy Sebastian, witnessing his audacious leap into the realm of Bollywood cinema this week has left me utterly elated! This man, who first captivated us with his soulful voice on Australian Idol 21 years ago, continues to astound us with his relentless pursuit of creativity and passion.


Guy Sebastian surprised his fans this week by revealing that he is launching a movie career. 

On a recent Instagram post made last Friday, the 42-year-old vocalist shared that he will be making his acting debut by becoming part of the Bollywood film “Hindi Vindi.”

As a longtime fan of The Voice, I was thrilled to learn about the immense praise that the show’s judge has been receiving from early audiences, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride for someone like Jay Sharma, who has worked tirelessly behind the scenes as both the writer and executive producer. With his extensive background in the entertainment industry, he has undoubtedly contributed to the success of this beloved show, and it’s only fitting that his hard work is being recognized by the public.

“Sharma shared with Adelaide Now that, given it was his debut role, there was understandably a bit of apprehension. However, after watching some previews of the movie, it seems Guy is undeniably delivering the most impressive acting performance in the film at this point,” (paraphrased from original sentence)

‘He’s the comic relief in the film and people love him.’

Next month, the film titled “Vindi in Hindi” is set to premiere in Australia. This movie narrates the tale of a young Australian man with Indian roots, embarking on a musical expedition.

In the Ali Sayd-directed production, a man steps into the character of James. He’ll share the screen with acclaimed Indian actors Neena Gupta and Mihir Ahuja.

Apart from acting in the Bollywood movie, Guy contributed his musical skills to the production by composing unique tunes for the soundtrack as well.

On Instagram, Guy excitedly shared that his mom, Nellie (from India), is incredibly proud of his latest business endeavor.

He penned: ‘Well, this may seem out of the blue … I joined the cast of a Bollywood movie earlier this year!!

Working with such an exceptional group of actors, who are renowned figures in Bollywood, marked the beginning of my acting career – an unforgettable experience that left a lasting impression on me.

“Hindi Vindi – An Emotional and Heartfelt Tale of an Australian-Indian Boy’s Musical Journey”

Titled “Hindi Vindi,” this narrative is deeply emotional and personal, chronicling the life of a young Australian-Indian man as he navigates his musical voyage. I was privileged to compose and record unique tracks to bolster the film’s soundtrack.

1. “I’m incredibly pleased with this project, and at the very least, it has made my Indian mother proud! The release is scheduled for theaters across Australia in September.”

The individual attained popularity after winning the inaugural season of Australian Idol in 2003, and is now widely recognized as a judge on The Voice Australia.

On the other hand, it was advised by Guy that triumphing in a TV talent competition doesn’t necessarily ensure long-term professional achievement.

Last week, in an interview with news.com.au, the ARIA Award-winning artist expressed: ‘Following my victory on Idol, I never adopted the mindset, “I’ve made it now!”‘

1. In my mind, I aspired to soak up knowledge like a sponge and use it effectively. What frequently amazes me is that some people still harbor the belief: “Once I appear on the show, my life will magically be sorted out.”

Moreover, Sebastian elaborated on the significant transformations the music industry has undergone over the past two decades, making it increasingly challenging compared to when he clinched victory on Australian Idol.

He cautioned potential competitors, saying that the world today demands more effort than ever before.

Instead of relying on the youthful charm of the landscape to secure a contract, there’s now a specialized division that concentrates solely on crafting your image, album, or unique sound.
