Selena Gomez wants to venture into Bollywood next

-

SELENA Gomez is no stranger to Hollywood and she's apparently now ready to try Bollywood next.

The superstar rose to fame as an actress before launching one of the biggest pop careers of the decade and has went on to produce for Netflix and beyond, so she could pretty much do it all.

However, she doesn't necessaril­y want to act or produce for a Bollywood movie just yet, instead revealing her interest in offering something musical for one in the future.

While promoting her new film 'Hotel Transylvan­ia 3: Summer Vacation', she revealed that she would love to work with Oscar-winning composer A. R. Rahman.

I like A. R. Rahman’s work. He is a global figure today. I would love to sing or be part of his compositio­ns. I think it would be beautiful to sing for (a) Bollywood (movie). I have been following a few musicians in India and I believe they are wonderful. Selena Gomez

Second solo album

Rahman has sold over 200 million combined albums across the tens of soundtrack­s he has composed and produced, including 'Slumdog Millionair­e' and the massive 'Bombay', which has sold 15 million albums since 1995.

"I like A. R. Rahman's work. He is a global figure today. I would love to sing or be part of his compositio­ns," she said.

"I think it would be beautiful to sing for (a) Bollywood (movie)," she continued, before revealing that she has been paying attention to trends in Indian music recently.

"I have been following a few musicians in India and I believe they are wonderful," Selena said, perhaps hinting that her highly-anticipate­d new album may feature some unexpected influences.

Selena's second solo album Revival was released almost three years ago to critical acclaim and commercial success, yet its followup has taken quite some time.

One-off singles 'Bad Liar' and 'Fetish' were released last summer before she took some personal time out of the spotlight, yet she recently returned to music with 'Back to You', from the latest 13 Reasons Why soundtrack.

If the collaborat­ion comes true then this would be epic!
