Ayushmann to sing songs which are of his zone
Actor and singer often sings for his own films, but he has no qualms about passing on the microphone to others especially when the songs are heavily classical'
NEW DELHI: Actor Ayushmann Khurrana often sings for his own ilms, but he has no qualms about passing on the microphone to others, especially when the songs are “heavily classical.”
Back in 2012, he made his debut in Bollywood as an actor and a singer with the ilm Vicky Donor, for which he crooned “Pani da rang.” He continued to entertain the audience with his acting skills and soothing voice.
His new ilms Andhadhun and Badhaai Ho also feature him as an actor and a singer.
“I will sing songs which are of my zone. Love ballads and soft romantic songs are my zones. I can’t do a qawwali or a heavily-classical song,” Ayushmann said here.
Asked about lip-syncing, he said: “It really depends on the zone. If the other singer is dong a better job in that genre of music, then why not? For example, the climax song of Andhadhun has been sung by Arijit Singh because he was best suited for that song.
“I have lip-synced to Arijit’s voice twice. First one was ‘Hareyaa’. It’s an honour to have a good singer giving voice to you.” What about non-ilm songs?
“I just did ‘Chan Kitthan’. I cut singles when there is a gap between two ilms, but right now, a lot is happening. I am singing for my ilms; so I don’t think I will be doing a single anytime soon,” shared the “Yahin hoon main” hit maker.
Currently, he is garnering positive reviews for Andhadhun.
“I am really happy. I am glad that people have liked it. I am seeing four star reviews after four years. Both Bareilly Ki Bari and Shubh Mangal Savdhan were between three and three-and-a-half stars.
“This one got a four star. I am really glad because if it is a four star, it becomes cult of sorts or maybe a ilm with a good shelf life,” he said.
This is his irst attempt at the thriller genre.
“I had to do a lot of homework because slice-of-life movies are mostly to do with everyday life. I can sleepwalk those characters because I have reference points for those characters.
“In Andhadhun, I play a blind man who is a pianist. So, it was doubly challenging for me. I had to take piano lessons, meet blind people, have a certain body language and act like a blind person,” he said.
In the process, the artiste ended up learning about life in general.
