Luke Evans wants to sing for Bollywood

The actor has expressed his interest of crooning for shows and working in films

From its elaborate dance and music sequences to its larger than life terrain, there are multiple reasons why Luke Evans is in love with Bollywood. The Hollywood actor says he would love to break into Hindi cinema not just as an actor but as a singer too.

He is often seen slaying dragons or playing the role of a psychopath on the big screen. And up next, he will be seen as brawny male chauvinist Gaston in Disney's live-action adaptation Beauty and the Beast, a musical. Evans said he wants to explore the world of Hindi cinema and is waiting for an opportunity to come knocking at his door. "I would love to work in Bollywood one day. I would love to be able to sing in one of the Bollywood shows. I would love to do that," Evans said.

The Welsh actor and singer got a taste of Indian culture and a glimpse of Bollywood craze when he first visited the country in November last year. From finding big Bollywood posters splashed on the walls across the city to meeting people from all walks of life and cultures, Evans took back home a bundle of good memories. He wants to come back soon to add more notes to his Indian travel story. "I actually went to India last November for the first time. I went to Mumbai and met a lot of people there from all walks of life and cultures. It was fantastic. I then went to Agra and Jaipur. I found the people and the country very gracious, kind and welcoming," he said. The 37-year-old "can't wait to go back because it is such a huge country and there is so much discover there". "I am looking forward to going back to India," he said. When it comes to Bollywood, Evans talks with great passion. –IANS
