Want to have a career in music: Sonakshi Sinha
The "Dabangg" star made her singing debut last year with the independent single "Aaj Mood Ishqholic Hai".
Â
She has now lent her voice to the track "Rajj Rajj Ke" for her upcoming film "Akira". "I eventually want to have a career in music. I love singing and dancing a lot. Little by little, I want to sing more. I had released 'Ishqholic' and now I am happy my first song for a film has been recorded for 'Akira'," she said.
Â
The 29-year-old actress interacted with the media during the launch of "Rajj Rajj Ke" at a college here last evening. She also performed the song live for the students.
Â
Composed by Vishal-Shekhar, the promotional track has been sung by Sonakshi, while the film version has been crooned by Nahid Afrin, of "Indian Idol Junior" fame.
Â
The "Lootera" actress, who was one of the judges on the show, had promised Nahid to offer her a song in her next film.
Â
"I am very happy that what I had promised, through Vishal and Shekhar, it came true. I am really happy for our film because Nahid is supremely talented. She has such a lovely voice," Sonakshi said.
Â
"When I was sitting in the judge's chair, I used to get goosebumps listening to her voice. I am happy she was able to sing for this and that I was able to keep my promise."
Â
Directed by A R Murugadoss, "Akira" is the remake of 2011 Tamil film "Mouna Guru". The action-thriller features filmmaker Anurag Kashyap in a negative role and also stars Konkona Sensharma.
Â
In the film, scheduled to release on September 2, Sonakshi will be seen as a fearless young woman, doing high-octane stunts.
