Chitrangada Singh turned as Playback signer

Gorgeous and talented though Chitrangada Singh is, the lass does not appear in many films and is very choosy about what she signs. Her forthcoming flicks are ‘Yeh Saali Zindagi’ opposite Irrfan Khan and Rohit Dhawan’s directorial debut, ‘Desi Boyz’ opposite John Abraham.

Now, Chitrangada has signed yet another flick opposite John Abraham being directed by Goldie Behl. Says the beautiful actress, “Yes, I’m doing Goldie Behl’s next. It’s opposite John Abraham. The film is untitled now. We begin shooting from 17th February. It’s a drama. But I can’t reveal more about it right now.”

Prakash Jha Productions’ gangster romance, Yeh Saali Zindagi, is slated for a February 4 release, and for the first time, Chitrangada has exercised her vocal chords to render the title track of the film with composer-singer Abhishek Ray.

For the female vocals, Ray auditioned a number of singers but wasn’t happy. It was Mishra who suggested he try out Singh. “And she was an apt choice because she had the right attitude befitting a snooty woman who, when asked to wait forever, retorts that she doesn’t even wait for the bus,” laughs Ray, admitting that he needed just an evening’s rehearsal with the actor to make her “musically correct” for the recording.
